Object Synopsis

atom -- object representing an atom in a molecule

Description

An atom object represents a single atom in a molecule. Atom objects are always a constituent part of a molecule object, and never exist in isolation. Atoms have a number of properties: atomic number, atomic weight, atomic symbol, charge, chirality, aromaticity, implicit hydrogen count, total hydrogen count, symmetry order and class, canonical order in the molecule, and a user-set arbitrary order in the molecule. Atoms can only be allocated or deallocated when a molecule is in the "modify on" state (see dt_mod_on(3) and dt_mod_off(3)).

A hydrogen pseudo-atom object is available for use in chirality specifications; see dt_isohydro(3) for details.
