31// class description
32//
33// An element is a chemical element either directly defined in terms of
34// its charactaristics: its name, symbol,
35//                      Z (effective atomic number)
36//                      N (effective number of nucleons)
37//                      A (effective mass of a mole)
38// or in terms of a collection of constituent isotopes with specified
39// relative abundance (i.e. fraction of nb of atomes per volume).
40//
41// Quantities, with physical meaning or not, which are constant in a given
42// element are computed and stored here as Derived data members.
43//
44// The class contains as a private static member the table of defined
45// elements (an ordered vector of elements).
46//
47// Elements can be assembled singly or in mixtures into materials used
48// in volume definitions via the G4Material class.
