Periodic Table

This package is a wrapper for a dataset of periodic elements. These elements were taken from a modified Penn State CS class CSV file, transformed into JSON, and then wrapped in some pretty JavaScript accessors.

npm install periodic-table

Usage

var pt = require('periodic-table');

// entire dataset
var allElements = pt.all();

// single elements by name
var he = pt.elements.Helium;

// single elements by symbol
var he = pt.symbols.He;

// single elements by atomic number
var he = pt.numbers[2];

var util = require('periodic-table/util');

// atomic mass of molecule
// atomicMass("[Element][Number] [Element][Number] ...")
// parenthesis around elements not supported..yet
var waterMass = util.atomicMass("H2 O");
var organicMass = util.atomicMass("C12 H22 O11");

Is any table information wrong? Does some field need to be added or better formatted? Is there a more reliable source of information to work with? Open an issue or be even cooler and open a pull-request.
