Science

Module to generate science related entries.

Overview
Both methods in this module return objects rather than strings. For example, you can use {{$science.chemicalElementName}} to pick out the specific property you need.

chemicalElement

Returns a random periodic table element.

The original faker.science.chemicalElement() method has been refined into three more precise variables:

{{$science.chemicalElementSymbol}}: Generates an chemicalElement Symbol.

{{$science.chemicalElementName}}: Generates an chemicalElement Name.

{{$science.chemicalElementAtomicNumber}}: Generates an chemicalElement AtomicNumber.

Returns: string

Examples

unit

Returns a random scientific unit.

The original faker.science.unit() method has been refined into two more precise variables:

{{$science.unitName}}: Generates an unit name.

{{$science.unitSymbol}}: Generates an unit Symbol.

Returns: string

Examples

chemicalElement#

unit#

chemicalElement
