The query engine is a quick and easy way of finding information about an element or set of elements. Rather than searching through the text or pages of the software you can issue a simple command here and the answer will appear immediately!
For those commands marked {name|symbol|atomic number} the name, symbol or atomic number of the element can be used.
Example: name Fe or name 26 would both return "iron".
