Actually maybe not, depending on the complexity of the pattern, but it would be difficult. You would have to know how much it decreases for every time you go down or to the right. If its more complex than that, you may have to program each rule in, not just enter them in a prompt. I'm assuming none

Thanks, Emile-- although I'm not sure I was completely clear about my objective. What I really meant is that is there a way (via machine learning) to give the computer a list of rules and exceptions, and then have it predict based on these rules the ionization energy. Ultimately I'm pretty interest

I was just wondering how feasible it would be to build something like the following: Brief background, in chemistry, the ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. The ionization energies of different elements follow general trends (ie moving left to ri
