Chemistry

Chemistry is a Java library designed to handle chemical types. It has enums for all nuclides (i.e., all elements and isotopes) and provides a type for molecules (which needs an internet connection). The molecule types provides an implementation for the Texable interface from the jatex module, such that it can easily return proper LaTeX code.

Some examples:

Molecule m = new Molecule("magnesium dioxide");
m.iupac(); // gets the official IUPAC name

Isotope.ofElement(Element.Ar); // the list of argon isotopes
Isotope.named("deuterium"); // gets the enum value for deuterium

Element.get(ElementCategory.ALKALI_METAL); // gets all alkali metals
Element.Og.isotopes(); // gets the isotopes of oganesson
Element.He.group(); // gets the IUPAC group number of helium
