Detailed Description

Provides mappings between atomic numbers and element symbols for the periodic table.

This header defines lookup tables for converting between atomic numbers (Z) and their corresponding chemical element symbols, and vice versa. These maps are useful for parsing, displaying, or validating chemical compositions in scientific applications.
