- toString
```
public String toString()
```
  Overrides:
  
  toString in class Object
- compareTo
```
public int compareTo(Element element)
```
  Specified by:
  
  compareTo in interface Comparable<Element>
- getElementalComposition
```
public Map<Element,Float> getElementalComposition()
```
  Description copied from interface: Matter
  
  Returns an unmodifiable copy of the elemental composition Map. The keys are Element objects and the values are Floats. Why Floats instead of Integers you ask? Because some amino acid codes such as B and Z are ambiguous averages.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getElementalComposition in interface Matter
  
  Returns:
  
  Map containing the elemental composition
- getChemicalFormula
```
public String getChemicalFormula()
```
  Returns a chemical formula String. For Elements this returns the symbol.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getChemicalFormula in interface Matter
  
  Returns:
  
  the chemical formula string
- getMonoisotopicMass
```
public Double getMonoisotopicMass()
```
  Specified by:
  
  getMonoisotopicMass in interface Matter
- getAverageMass
```
public Double getAverageMass()
```
  Specified by:
  
  getAverageMass in interface Matter
- getOrganicAverageMass
```
public Double getOrganicAverageMass()
```
  Returns the average mass as estimated from organic sources. [Zhang Z, Pan H, Chen X. 2009. Mass spectrometry for structural characterization of therapeutic antibodies. Mass Spectrom Rev 28:147-176.]
  
  Specified by:
  
  getOrganicAverageMass in interface Matter
- getVanderWaalsRadius
```
public Length getVanderWaalsRadius()
```
  Returns the Van der Waals radius. [From Table 1 in Alvarez, Santiago. 2013. â€œA Cartography of the van Der Waals Territories.â€ Dalton Transactions 42 (24): 8617â€“36. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3dt50599e.
  
  Returns:
  
  the Van der Waals radius
- getCovalentRadius
```
public Length getCovalentRadius()
```
  Returns the covalent radius. [From Table 2 in Cordero, Beatriz, VerÃ³nica GÃ³mez, Ana E. Platero-Prats, Marc RevÃ©s, Jorge EcheverrÃa, Eduard Cremades, Flavia BarragÃ¡n, and Santiago Alvarez. 2008. â€œCovalent Radii Revisited.â€ Journal of the Chemical Society. Dalton Transactions, no. 21: 2832â€“38. https://doi.org/10.1039/b801115j.
  
  Returns:
  
  the Van der Waals radius
- getDefaultValences
```
public int[] getDefaultValences()
```
  Returns the default values for the number of valence electrons for the element. Used when calculating implicit hydrogens for a compound.
