I am writing  a page illustrating atomic and ionic radii in Jmol wich uses a 3D 
periodic table model. So I have found that element nr. 105 (Dubnium, Db) is 
not being recognized by Jmol 10.00.34
The JmolConstants.java file has the element defined, but it is not shown 
properly:
- VdW radius is too small, smaller than H  (spacefill)
- atomic radius is zero (spacefill ionic with a proper symbol and charge 
description in the PDB file)
- label %e shows "Xx" instead of Db

Not that important an element, but it is striking  and spoils the periodic 
table 
--all the other up to 109 Mt are shown nicely--.


Another peculiarity: yttrium cannot be selected as  select *.Y ;
throws "invalid atom specification : select *.Y"
All the other elements work with this syntax.
I had to use "select (*.Y? and not *.Yb)"
