// class description
//
// An element is a chemical element either directly defined in terms of
// its charactaristics: its name, symbol,
//                      Z (effective atomic number)
//                      N (effective number of nucleons)
//                      A (effective mass of a mole)
// or in terms of a collection of constituent isotopes with specified 
// relative abundance (i.e. fraction of nb of atomes per volume).
//
// Quantities, with physical meaning or not, which are constant in a given 
// element are computed and stored here as Derived data members.
//
// The class contains as a private static member the table of defined
// elements (an ordered vector of elements).
//
// Elements can be assembled singly or in mixtures into materials used
// in volume definitions via the G4Material class.
