One or more electrons.
Since there is very little use of electrons in current
chemical information this is a fluid concept. I expect it to be used for electron
counting, input and output of theochem operations, descriptions of orbitals,
spin states, oxidation states, etc. Electrons can be associated with atoms, bonds
and combinations of these. At present there is no hardcoded semantics. However,
atomRef and similar attributes can be used to associate electrons with
atoms or bonds
<cml title="electron example">
<molecule id="m1">
<atomArray atomID="a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6"/>
<bondArray
order="A A A A A A"
bondID="b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6"
atomRef1="a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6"
atomRef2="a6 a1 a2 a3 a4 a5"/>
<electron count="6"
bondRefs="b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6"
atomRefs="a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6"/>
</molecule>
