5.1.2.1 Simple properties

There are a large number of physical property limits. They occur as three fields on a line. For example:

MIN_HETEROATOMS 2 "Minimum number of heteroatoms"

The first field is the property keyword, the second field is the value assigned to that keyword, and the third field is a brief informational message. There are a fixed number of physical property keywords. No additional physical property keywords can be added by the user. The current keywords and a brief definitions of each are included below.
