Detailed Description

Periodic Table of the Elements Using element data is a place holder when we lack information about a specific atom type.

In particular, the Langevin algorithms must assume specific atomic radii to predict drag and random forces on those atoms. For force fields which do not specify Lennard-Jones radii, the element's van der Waals radius is used instead. The ElementsTable class (etab) is declared as external in ElementsTable.cpp. Source files that include the header file ElementsTable.hpp automatically have an extern definition to etab. The following code sample demonstrates the use of the ElementsTable class:

cout << "The symbol for element 6 is " << etab.GetSymbol(6) << endl;
cout << "The atomic number for Sulfur is " << etab.GetAtomicNum(16) <<
endl; cout << "The van der Waal radius for Nitrogen is " <<
etab.GetVdwRad(7);
const char * GetSymbol(int atomicnum)
RealType GetVdwRad(int atomicnum)
int GetAtomicNum(const char *str)

Stored information in the OBElementTable includes elemental:

  • symbols
  • covalent radii
  • van der Waal radii
  • expected maximum bonding valence
  • molar mass (by IUPAC recommended atomic masses)
  • electronegativity
  • ionization potential
  • electron affinity
  • RGB colors for visualization programs
  • names (by IUPAC recommendation)
