Physical Explanation of the Periodic Table

Abstract: The Periodic Table of the elements, the most important generalization in chemistry, is often considered as a representative special case in the study of the relation between chemistry and physics. Its quantum interpretation was initiated, but not completed, by Niels Bohr. In this paper, post-Bohr conceptual developments are discussed from historical and epistemological points of view. The difference between high-precision numerical calculations for individual atoms and the theory of the periodic system as a wh… Show more

In essence, we suggest to base discussions of the chemical PS on electron configurations of chemically bonded atoms, on chemical experience and on theoretical arguments consistent with physical quantum theory.…”
