Detailed Description

This class is used to describe the periodic table in SAMSON.

Typically, this class is used when accessing properties of periodic table elements:

SBQuantity::length r = SBElementTable::getCovalentRadius(SBElement::Carbon);

Note that convenience functions exist in atoms to access the properties of their element:

SBQuantity::length r = atom->getCovalentRadius();

Short name: SBElementTable
Short name: SBPeriodicTable
