Periodic table of the elements quantum mechanics consistent
The usual periodic tables of the chemical elements are already 97 % in accord with quantum mechanics. Three elements only do not fit correctly into it, in disagreement with the Pauli exclusion principle [1]. In order to ensure coherence, it is put forward to place helium beside hydrogen into the s-block. Lutetium and lawrencium pertain to the d-block of the transition metals and should not be in the f block with the rare earths or the actinoids. By replacing the lanthanoids (rare earths or lanthanides) and actinoids (actinides) boxes... [Lire la suite]
