Member Function Documentation

Phase Elemental::Element::get_phase	(	double	tempK = `STANDARD_TEMPERATURE`	)	const
throw	(
	)

Returns the phase of matter assumed by the element at a temperature.

Standard pressure is implied.

Parameters

tempK The temperature, in Kelvin, at which to determine phase. By default, the IUPAC standard temperature.

template<class T >

const T& Elemental::Element::get_property	(	const Property< T > &	property	)	const
throw	(	std::invalid_argument
	)

inline

Returns the value for the given Property.

Parameters

property The Element Property to be returned.

const value_base& Elemental::Element::get_property_base	(	const PropertyBase &	property	)	const
throw	(	std::invalid_argument
	)

Returns the value_base of the value for the given Property.

Parameters

property The Element Property to be returned.

void Elemental::Element::make_entries	(	EntriesView &	view	)	const
throw	(
	)

Generates entries for all properties.

Parameters

view	An EntriesView to be populated.

void Elemental::Element::make_entries	(	EntriesView &	view,
		const Category &	category,
		bool	all = `false`
	)		const
throw	(
	)

Generates entries for the properties in the given Category.

Parameters

view	An EntriesView to be populated.
category	The Category whose properties will be provided.
all	For `C_GENERAL`, controls whether the EntriesView will also receive the element's primary name, symbol, and atomic number.
