# --description--

This is one of the required projects to earn your certification. For this project, you will create Bash a script to get information about chemical elements from a periodic table database.

**Important:** After you pass all the project tests, save a dump of your database into a `periodic_table.sql` file, as well as your `element.sh` file, so you can complete step 2. There will be instructions on how to do that within the virtual machine.

# --notes--

Required files: `periodic_table.sql`, `element.sh`
