get_phase()

Phase Elemental::Element::get_phase	(	double	tempK = STANDARD_TEMPERATURE	)	const
throw	(	)

Returns the phase of matter assumed by the element at a temperature.

Standard pressure is implied.

Parameters

tempK

The temperature, in Kelvin, at which to determine phase. By default, the IUPAC standard temperature.

Returns

The phase of matter determined.
