Identifies molecular weight for the specified element based on the element's name, its symbol, or its atomic number. Returns only the molecular weight as a numeric value.
Arguments
- element
(character/numeric) element name, symbol, or atomic number for which to retrieve molecular weight
Value
(numeric) molecular weight value for the relevant element
Examples
# Identify molecular weight for carbon by name
molec_wt(element = "Carbon")
#> [1] 12.011
# Identify molecular weight for hydrogen by atomic number
molec_wt(element = 1)
#> [1] 1.007
