This method and attribute are available at the module level:
list(Element) table — read-onlyThe periodic table of elements. A list of Elements in atomic number order.
Element get_element (int|str which)Returns the element with a given symbol or atomic number. Raises KeyError if the symbol or number is invalid.
which | If int, the atomic number of an element. If str, the symbol or atomic number of an element. |
A chemical element.

For details, see their property definitions.
null make_entries (EntriesView view[, Category category, bool all=False])Generates entries for all properties, or for the properties in the given category.
view | The EntriesView to be populated. |
category | The Category whose properties will be provided. If not given, all properties are used. |
all | For C_GENERAL, controls whether the EntriesView will also receive the element's primary name, symbol, and atomic number. |
Phase get_phase ([float tempK=STANDARD_TEMPERATURE])Returns the phase of matter assumed by the element at standard pressure and a given temperature.
tempK | The temperature, in Kelvin, at which to determine phase. By default, the IUPAC standard temperature. |
