DESCRIPTION
    List atomic properties of elements in the periodic table. A variety of
    methods are available to specify elements of interest: atomic numbers,
    element symbols, American or European style group labels, IUPAC group
    numbers, period numbers, and group names.

    Atomic properties data, in addition to basic information about the
    periodic table elements, is also available for these categories: atomic
    radii, bulk properties, common valences, electronegativities, electron
    affinities, historical data, ionization energies, natural isotopes,
    oxidation states, and thermal properties.

    Natural isotopes data include mass number, relative atomic mass and
    percent natural abundance for each isotope of an element.

PARAMETERS
    ElementIDs *ElementSymbol [AtomicNumber...] | GroupLabel [GroupLabel...]

        Command line specification of elements is mode specific. In general,
        it's a space delimited list of values to identify elements. All
        element IDs must correspond to a specific mode; mixed specifications
        is not supported.
