Can anyone help me with this clue to a capital city please.

Two atomic numbers and audio-visual in books for the blind.

I’m really stumped with this clue, and would be grateful for any help. Thank you

Thanks for both your help. Weecalf can you explain you’re answer. I thought of Montevideo, or Brazzaville, but I don’t get the two atomic numbers part.
Z and Z are the atomic numbers, Braille is' books for the blind' and AV is 'audio-visual'.
Brazzaville (I think)
AV (audio visual) in Braille
zz = zinc twice - bit these are atomi symbols not numbers
Compiler error
Good one NAC
Acually - it is not a compiler error
z = the proton or atomic number of a chemical element
Definitely Brazzaville

Thanks, Danny. JJ, I wasn't using Z for Zinc, I was thinking of Z , symbol, atomic number.
We crossed, jj.
Yes NAC - my original answer also crossed with yours, you were not thinking of Zinc - But I was
But then I realised that zinc was Zn and so looked up "atomic number" to find like you say it is the symbol for the "atomic number"

Thank you everybody for your suggestions. I thought it must be Brazzaville but couldn’t get the atomic number part. Thanks jj109 for explanation, much appreciated.
Think NeveraCrossword deserves best answer for his parsing?
Glad you've got the answer, hawk3y3.

Thanks Neveracrossword for your invaluable help. Would have put you as best answer, but pressed wrong button. Must be due to too much Christmas cheer! Happy New Year to all.
Thanks, hawk... I don't want BA, but you can change best answers by simply choosing another one.
