Mendeleev's introduction of the periodic table of elements is one of the most important
milestones in the history of chemistry, as it brought order into the known chemical and …

The borders of the periodic table of the elements and of the chart of nuclides are not set in
stone. The desire to explore the properties of atoms and their nuclei in a regime of very large …

Einstein proposed his theory of special relativity in 1905. For a long time it was believed that
this theory has no significant impact on chemistry. This view changed in the 1970s when it …

After Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev and, independently, Julius Lothar Meyer, and others
discovered the ordering principles of the elements, Mendeleev proposed the first valid …

A model operator approach to calculations of the QED corrections to energy levels in
relativistic many-electron atomic systems is developed. The model Lamb shift operator is …

During the last decade, six new superheavy elements were added into the seventh period of
the periodic table, with the approval of their names and symbols. This milestone was …

We review the progress in atomic structure theory with a focus on superheavy elements and
their predicted ground state configurations important for an element's placement in the …

Extended Average Level (EAL) Dirac–Fock calculations on atoms and ions agree with
earlier work in that a rough shell-filling order for the elements 119–172 is 8s< 5g≤ 8p1/2< …

The chemical properties of gold are strongly influenced by relativistic effects. One example is
the large electronegativity of Au, which qualitatively explains the stability of (solid or liquid) …

The number of chemical elements has increased considerably in the last few decades. Most
excitingly, these heaviest, man‐made elements at the far‐end of the Periodic Table are …
