Chemical elements
These represent the basic building blocks for all substances or mixtures. These include the pure elements from the periodic table, such as "Al", as well as many chemical compounds such as "1-Hexanol" (CAS 111-27-3). The Everest system has over 10000 such chemical definitions. Here are some of the fields associated with one such such entity:
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| ID | 42 |
| Name | 2-Chloroaniline |
| Formula | C6H6ClN |
| CAS | 95-51-2 |
| EC | 202-426-4 |
| TypeFlags | Organic |
| MolarMass | 127.572 g/mol |
Identity
While the CAS number is commonly used for referring to a particular chemical substance, it's not able to fully cover all chemicals and their particular derivatives.
In order to avoid the possible ambiguities, the Everest system uses it's own string based identifier, often called the component code.
