7.1 Stored Properties of Atoms

The OEAtomBase class is the workhorse of the OEChem library, representing the atoms of a molecule. This section details some of the important and often used properties and methods. See the API manual for a complete listing.

7.1.1 AtomicNum

The ``Atomic Number'' property of an atom is an unsigned integer representing the atomic number, or element, of that atom. The default value is zero.

7.1.2 FormalCharge

The ``Formal Charge'' property of an atom is an integer representing the formal charge on an atom. The default value is zero, indicating a neutral atom.

7.1.3 ImplicitHCount

The ``Implicit Hydrogen Count'' property of an atom is an unsigned integer denoting the number of hydrogens implicitly attached to an atom. The default value is zero.

7.1.4 Isotope

The ``Isotopic Mass'' property of an atom is an unsigned integer used to indicate whether the atom is mono-isotopic and if so the atomic mass of the relevant isotope. The default value is zero, indicating that the atom has a typical population of isotopes (based upon standard abundances) for that element.

7.1.5 PartialCharge

The ``Partial Charge'' property of an atom is a float used to hold the partial charge assigned to an atom. The default value is 0.0.

7.1.6 Hyb

The ``Atomic Hybridization'' property of an atom is an unsigned int used to hold the atomic hybridization or geometry of an atom. The default value is OEHybridization::Unknown, which is zero.

7.1.7 IntType

The ``Integer Atom Type'' property of an atom is an integer that holds the numeric atom type assigned to an atom. The default value is zero.

7.1.8 Name

The ``Atom Name'' property of an atom is a string used to record the atom name associated with an atom. The default value is the empty string.

7.1.9 Type

The ``Atom Type Name'' property of an atom is a string used to store the symbolic atom type assigned to an atom. The default value is the empty string.

7.1.10 Radius

The ``Radius'' property of an atom is a float used to hold the radius assigned to an atom. The default value is 0.0.

7.1.11 RxnRole

The ``Reaction Role'' property of an atom is an unsigned integer used to record the role, if any, of an atom in a reaction or transform. The default value is OERxnRole::None, which is zero.

7.1.12 MapIdx

The ``Reaction Map Index'' property of an atom is an unsigned used to represent the atom equivalences in reaction and transforms, or to label R-groups/attachment points in molecules. The default value is zero.

7.1.13 InRing

The ``Ring Membership'' property of a atom is a boolean used to represent whether the atom is a member of a cycle/ring. The default value is false.

7.1.14 SymmetryClass

The ``Symmetry Class'' property of an atom is an unsigned integer used to represent the topological symmetry group of an atom. The default value is zero.

7.1.15 Aromatic

The ``Aromaticity'' property of an atom is a boolean used to represent whether the atom is considered a member of an aromatic ring/cycle. The default value is false.
