NSE check
---------

We determine is a zone is in NSE according to:
We group elements by their atomic numbers and perform the NSE check based on these groups:

``He_group``: atomic numbers 1 to 2 (H to He)

``C_group``: atomic numbers 6 to 7 (C to N)

``O_group``: atomic number 8 (O)

``Si_group``: atomic number 14 (Si)

``Fe_group``: atomic numbers 24 to 30 (Cr to Zn)

We determine if a zone is in NSE according to:

* :math:`\rho` > ``rho_nse``

* :math:`T` > ``T_nse``

* :math:`X(\isotm{C}{12})` < ``C_nse``
* :math:`X(C_group)` < ``C_nse``

* :math:`X(O_group)` < ``O_nse``

* :math:`X(Si_group)` < ``Si_nse``

* :math:`X(\isotm{He}{4}) + X(\isotm{Cr}{48}) + X(\isotm{Fe}{52}) + X(\isotm{Fe}{54}) + X(\isotm{Ni}{56})` > ``He_Fe_nse``
* :math:`X(Fe_group) + X(He_group)` > ``He_Fe_nse``
