Struct lib_rapid::chem::elements::Element

pub struct Element<'a> {
    pub symbol: &'a str,
    pub protons: u8,
    pub electrons: u8,
    pub neutrons: u8,
    pub atomic_weight: f32,
    pub pauling_en: f32,
}

The struct for storing a chemical element.

Fields

symbol: &'a str

protons: u8

electrons: u8

neutrons: u8

atomic_weight: f32

pauling_en: f32

Implementations

impl<'a> Element<'a>

pub const fn new( symbol: &str, protons: u8, electrons: u8, neutrons: u8, atomic_weight: f32, pauling_en: f32 ) -> Element<'_>

Create a new, custom chemical element.

Arguments

• symbol: &str - The element symbol.
• protons: u8 - The number of protons.
• electrons: u8 - The number of electrons.
• neutrons: u8 - The number of neutrons.
• atomic_weight: f32 - The weighted average of all isotopes.
• pauling_en: f32 - The electronegativity after Pauling.

Examples

use lib_rapid::chem::elements::Element;
 
let elem = Element::new("Xy", 255, 255, 255, 510.7, 6.54); // Fictional element.
assert_eq!(elem.atomic_weight, 510.7);

pub const fn mass_number(&self) -> u16

Lets you get the mass number of a direct element.

Examples

use lib_rapid::chem::elements::Element;
 
let elem = Element::new("Xy", 255, 255, 255, 510.7, 6.54); // Fictional element.
assert_eq!(elem.mass_number(), 510);

Trait Implementations

impl<'a> Clone for Element<'a>

fn clone(&self) -> Element<'a>

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<'a> Debug for Element<'a>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'a> Default for Element<'a>

fn default() -> Element<'a>

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<'a> PartialEq for Element<'a>

fn eq(&self, other: &Element<'a>) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
