A periodic table in Lua

To import everything, simply put this at the top of your Lua file:

require('periodic')

Now, the global table will be filled with the following tables for use:

• periodic, pdt: Periodic Table
• numtosy, nts: Atomic number to symbol converter
• numtoname, ntn: Atomic number to name converter

The periodic table has these following fields:

• mass: Atomic mass
• number: Atomic number
• name: Name of element

To use, simply access whichever field of an element on the periodic table like so:

periodic.Hg.mass
pdt.Hg.mass
pdt.mercury.mass
periodic.mercury.mass

To convert atomic number to symbol, do this:

numtosy[15]
nts[15]

To convert atomic number to name, do this:

numtoname[15]
ntn[15]
