You have been given a list of binary compounds. Build a function that # parses their chemical formula. They will be of the form AxBy. # Make a list with dictionaries for all formula in the "parse_me" list. # A & B are element symbols. # x & y are integers from 0 to 9. # # Your function should return a dictionary with the elements as keys, # and their fractional amount as values. A list of element symbols is # provided if needed. # Al2O3 => {"Al": 0.4, "O": 0.6} # # NOTE: I am not looking for a "clean" solution. Be as hacky as you need # to create a function that parses Binaries of the form AxBy.
