Chem_Infobox

  • background1=aaccff (the color of the background)
  • elementColor=xxxxxx (the color of the element square)
  • elName=Helium (element name)
  • elMass=0 (element mass)
  • elSym=He (element symbol)
  • elNum=2 (atomic number)
  • eltrnCfg=1-1 (electron confguration
  • no1=1 (oxidation states)
  • no2=1
  • no3=1
  • no4=1
  • properties=Describe what it looks like
  • compounds=What is it found in?
  • uses=(uses)
  • hazard=what type of hazard does it pose?

what does element color mean?

I don't see anywhere what the definition is for the elementColor variable. Is there a set of colors which indicate something about the element or is it up to each element author to choose any color they like? I just kept a red color for my Boron page. Is this correct? Does it matter? David E. Volk 09:33, 6 December 2007 (CST)
