Abstract

Examines the discovery and development of the periodic law and table, alternative arrangements, periodic patterns, specific families (the lanthanides and the “superactinides”), the relationship of relativistic effects and quantum physics to elementary periodicity, and efforts to create periodic tables for subatomic particles and benzenoid hydrocarbons.

  Abstract: The dominant electronic valence configurations of atoms in chemical substances of a transition element of group G in period n is (n − 1)d^Gns⁰. Transition-metal chemistry is d orbital chemistry. In contrast, the ground states of free, unbound atoms derive, ...

  Abstract: Long-standing questions on the theoretical basis of the periodic system have been answered in recent years. A specific type of periodicity is imposed on all elements by the main groups just before and after the noble gasses. The upper np shells of these ...
