pyriodic-table 1.0.0

A library which provides data on the Periodic Table of Elements.

--- pyriodic_table ---

pyriodic_table is a simple Python library which aims to achieve the following:

• Provide insightful data (as accurate as possible) on the 118 chemical elements discovered to date, starting with hydrogen, all the way to the super-heavy oganesson!
• Make this data easily accessible, in an organised manner.
• Allow easy identification of elements to access their data, through multiple methods.
• Be user-friendly and easy to use.

About the data

Examples of data being provided on for the elements include (but not limited to):

• Name
• Symbol
• Atomic number
• Atomic mass
• Melting/boiling point
• Group/period
• Density
• Discovery

Element data has been manually obtained and entered carefully.

Unfortunately, many elements have missing data, such as melting/boiling points and density. Furthermore, particular data for certain elements may be inaccurate.

Nonetheless, the common elements likely have high-quality accurate data, and conveniently, they are the most used. For example, unsurprisingly oxygen, an abundant element we need for respiration is much better known than livermorium, a synthetic, radioactive, short-lived element of which only a few atoms have been produced.
