101 electrons sit in their real ground-state shells (K 2 · L 8 · M 18 · N 32 · O 31 · 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.
LITZ = 101, Md, Mendelevium. Standard atomic weight 258 (mass number of the longest-lived isotope). Group — (actinide), period 7, f-block.

LITIsotopes: no stable isotope; longest-lived: 250Md t½ 54 sec, 249Md t½ 25.6 sec, 248Md t½ 7 sec.
WALLNo emission line is used: the NIST Handbook of Basic Atomic Spectroscopic Data has no strong-lines table for this element, so photons are drawn uncoloured.
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.
