Template:List of chemical elements/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:List of chemical elements.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Used in article List of chemical elements § List.

Properties and parameters

Element

atomic number (Z)

Symbol |symbol=

name (wikilink)

Etymology |etymology=

|etymology-symbol=; used when symbol is not obvious (like "Hg")

Group
Period
Block
Standard atomic weight
Density |density=
Melting point in kelvin |mpK=
Boiling point in kelvin |bpK=
Specific heat capacity |heatcapacity=
Electronegativity |elnegativity=
Abundance in Earth's crust |abundance=
Occurrence
Phase

Columns (properties) that have no parameter are read from the § element data lists

A parameter (property) can have a footnote added like |density-fn={{efn-la|name=prediction}}

When the value has bracket notation, eg. (1.23), use the val template like {{val|1.23|p=(|s=)}}. To display a bracketed range, eg. (22-24), use {{val|22|-|24|p=(|s=)}} where the second parameter is what goes between the two numbers (only a limited set of values is accepted, consult the template documentation). Use of {{val}} is necessary to make the value(s) sort correctly in the column.
