The g block is 2 elements too long

The g-block for period 8 should be 18 elements long, not 20 as this illustration shows. Elements 139 and 140 belong in group 13 and 14, respectively, followed by elements 169-172. Compare this to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pekka_Pyykkö and to the original source DOI: 10.1039/C0CP01575J. Blocks increase by double an odd number, thus s = 2*1 = 2, p = 2*3 = 6, d = 2*5 = 10, f = 2*7 = 14, g = 2*9 = 18. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:C5A0:9400:9D16:96A1:48D2:B214 (talk) 03:05, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are many reasonable ways to draw the eighth period, but given that there is not expected to be much of a chemical difference between E139 and E140 and the other superactinides, tagging them along to the 5g row as Fricke and Nefedov do seems more chemically sensible.

Sc, Y, place

Based on https://www.meta-synthesis.com/webbook/35_pt/pt_database.php?PT_id=920, periodic table shall have Sc, Y above Lu, Lr by the most current version. Please check this version. Thanks.Luke Kern Choi 5 (talk) 00:39, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

G-block?

If s hold 2, p hold 6, d hold 10, and f hold 14, then g hold 18. I think 168 is in noble gas. -198.111.211.2 (talk) 16:53, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The 5g orbitals indeed hold 18 electrons, but because of the relativistic collapse of 8s and 8p_1/2, by the time you get to the 7d elements the covering s-shell is 9s instead of 8s, and in the 8p elements the six p-electrons come from 9p_1/2 (two) and 8p_3/2 (four) together. So we have to add in four extra electrons from 9s and 9p_1/2 before we get to the noble gas at 172. See the main extended periodic table article. Double sharp (talk) 04:54, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
