Full element properties table — ggpse

A data frame with physical and chemical properties for all 118 elements, together with their IUPAC 18-column grid positions. Use this dataset directly with [ggPSE()] to plot built-in properties without supplying external data.

Usage

data(ggpse_elements)

Format

A data frame with 118 rows and 17 columns:

symbol: Element symbol, e.g. "Fe"
name: Full element name, e.g. "Iron"
atomic_number: Atomic number (integer)
col: Column in the IUPAC 18-column layout (1-18)
row: Display row; lanthanides = 9, actinides = 10
period: IUPAC period (1-7)
group: IUPAC group (1-18); NA for lanthanides and actinides
block: Orbital block: "s", "p", "d", or "f"
category: Element category, e.g. "transition metal", "halogen"
atomic_weight: Standard atomic weight (IUPAC 2021); NA where not defined
electronegativity: Pauling electronegativity; NA for noble gases and elements without reliable values
atomic_radius_pm: Empirical atomic radius in picometers (Slater 1964); NA where not available
density_g_cm3: Density at standard temp in g/cm3; NA where not determined
melting_point_K: Melting point in Kelvin; NA where not determined
boiling_point_K: Boiling point in Kelvin; NA where not determined
ionization_energy_eV: First ionization energy in eV (NIST)
electron_affinity_eV: Electron affinity in eV (NIST); 0 indicates stable negative ion does not form

Examples

data(ggpse_elements)
ggPSE(ggpse_elements, value_col = "electronegativity",
      legend_title = "Electronegativity (Pauling)")


# Plot atomic radius
ggPSE(ggpse_elements, value_col = "atomic_radius_pm",
      color_high = "#08519c",
      legend_title = "Atomic radius (pm)")


# Filter to d-block only
ggPSE(ggpse_elements[ggpse_elements$block == "d", ],
      value_col = "melting_point_K",
      legend_title = "Melting point (K)")


# Join your own measurements against it
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
  my_data <- merge(ggpse_elements, my_data, by = "symbol", all.x = TRUE)
  ggPSE(my_data, value_col = "my_measurement")
} # }
