Elements is a command-line search of the [PubChem Periodic Table][1].

|
(The following paragraph is what I plan to implement.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This program allows you to search for data related to an element by
|
||
|
|
number, symbol or name. Elements can deal with misspellings. You can also
|
||
|
|
searched based on the properties (atomic mass between two values, having
|
||
|
|
certain oxidation states, etc.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Elements also supports querying the dedicated entries for the elements
|
||
|
|
(on the pubchem website, you can access this by clicking on the element).

Copyright
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The source code of this program is in the public domain (see
|
||
|
|
`COPYING.md`).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The PubChem database does not explicitly state the license or copyright
|
||
|
|
status of their periodic table data. However, the bundled file is
|
||
|
|
nothing but a collection of physical facts published by the United
|
||
|
|
States government without copyright notice, so I presume it is in the
|
||
|
|
public domain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The dedicated entries for specific elements from PubChem (I believe) are
|
||
|
|
licensed for non-commercial use. Those will be in a seperate git repo.
