What Periodic Table Quiz does, with a checked example
A full periodic table fills the page with all 118 named elements, and clicking a cell brings up that element's record - name, symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and group. Quiz mode plays the same data in reverse: it shows you a property and asks you to name the element, one round at a time, with guesses checked and scored as you go. The surprise most people hit is that questions draw from the whole table, not just the famous elements - terbium and tellurium appear as often as oxygen and gold.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.

Expected output
Correct - gold (Au).
In a round that shows the property "atomic number: 79" and asks for the element, the quiz accepts "gold" because gold is the only element with 79 protons and Au is its symbol. The guess matches exactly one element record, so the answer is unambiguous.
