Have you run this recently? I tried but always get an error : TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'NoneType' and 'NoneType' whenever I select an atom or on Reset.
I will eventually try to incorporate this into a notebook for my grandson who likes chemistry and is a college Freshman. The notebook will have tabs for this, unit conversions, common physical constants and molecular composition calculations.

tbh, i have not tried to run this since I wrote it my freshman year of college in 2013 lol ... was written on Python 2.7.5 I believe. So If you're running it on 3.8 or something, def not going to work.

I can try to look into it if/when i have some free time this weekend.

I appreciate the reply. I am using 3.8. Made some obvious changes to the import but I can’t see why the lambda function creates the error. Looking through python sites and stack exchange didn’t help much. Thanks, Tim

Hello Byron, I was able to make some changes and it now works fine. The only real issue was the assignment of the text to the frame when an atom is picked. I added a \n before Atomic # to accommodate the text change. I will update the stack exchange comment soon. Thanks for your interest and I hope you didn’t get too far into this. Tim

HI, attached is a zip file with an update. If you would be interested, I am adding the electronic configuration of each atom to the Table. Let me know if you want this as well whenI am finished. Some other utilities in progress, if you are a chemist/student. Regards. Tim
