The Periodic Table of Elements - 100/101/102/103 - Fermium to Lawrencium

This mystery puzzle cache is part of the Atomic Element series of caches that begins with Hydrogen (GC2XAY2) and is the last of 100 caches that are all about the Periodic Table of Elements.    In each series of ten (1-10, 11-20, etc.), one of the ten caches will contain a clue on the inside cap of the soda tube.  You will need to write down and save these clues in the order in which you find them. These clues will later be used to solve the location of this cache. The puzzle can be solved in the field with the info from all the caches loaded into your GPSr. 

First to complete the series, solve the final puzzle, and find this cache, will take home an FTF prize of one hundred dollars contained inside it! 

A note to the FTF for the 100th....bring a bag for your bounty, it will be vast!
