Re: A85: More on chem program
The following have two decimal places on mine: Titanium, Zinc, Germanium,
Selenium, Krypton, Strontium, Ruthenium, Cadmium, Indium, Tellurium,
Xenon, Barium, Cerium, Neodymium, Samarium, Gadolinium, Dysprosium,
Erbium, Ytterbium, Hafnium, Tungsten, Iridium, Platinum, and Mercury.
The only two that have one decimal are Osmium and Lead.
