positive integers. They should also be unique, though LAMMPS does not
check for this. Typically they should also be consecutively numbered
(from 1 to Natoms), though this is not required. Molecular <A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom

(styles bond, angle, molecular, full). These styles require atom IDs
since the IDs are used to encode the topology. Some other LAMMPS
commands also require the use of atom IDs. E.g. some many-body pair
styles use them to avoid double computation of the I-J interaction
between two atoms.

<P>The only reason not to use atom IDs is if you are running an atomic
simulation so large that IDs cannot be uniquely assigned. For a
