AMERICIUM · Z 95

Am, 7s2 outermost, in a 10-shell frame

THE RULE

95 electrons sit in their real ground-state shells (K 2 · L 8 · M 18 · N 32 · O 25 · P 8 · Q 2 · 8 0 · 9 0 · 10 0). Each orbits and jitters as an agent. Heat or a tap lifts one into a higher shell (up to shell 10); it relaxes back and emits a photon.

Tap near an electron to excite it. The same ?seed= always gives the same run.

WHAT IS CLAIMED

LITZ = 95, Am, Americium. Standard atomic weight 243 (mass number of the longest-lived isotope). Group — (actinide), period 7, f-block.

LITGround-state configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6 5f7 7s2 (NIST). Shells: K 2 · L 8 · M 18 · N 32 · O 25 · P 8 · Q 2 · 8 0 · 9 0 · 10 0.

LITFirst ionization energy 5.9738 eV (NIST).

LITIsotopes: no stable isotope; longest-lived: 243Am t½ 7.35 kyear, 241Am t½ 432.6 year, 230Am t½ 40 sec.

LITEmission lines used for photons: 605.464 nm, 351.013 nm, the strongest neutral-atom (I) lines, air wavelengths, verified against the NIST Handbook of Basic Atomic Spectroscopic Data strong-lines table: https://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/Handbook/Tables/americiumtable2.htm. Photons are not tied to a specific shell jump (ANALOGY).

WALLShells 8, 9 and 10 are MODEL, Dave’s 10-shell frame: no ground-state atom uses more than 7 shells, so they stay empty unless an electron is excited into them.

AMBERThe orbiting dots are a cartoon (ANALOGY), not orbitals; electron colour is by home shell (q.d), and the nucleus colour is by block (s, p, d, f). The self-check confirms the electron total equals Z, the shell counts sum to Z, every shell is within 2n², and shells 8 to 10 are empty in the ground state; any failure throws.
