ABSTRACT: Most periodic tables of the chemical elements are
between 96% and 100% in accord with quantum mechanics. Three elements only do
not fit correctly into the official tables, in disagreement with the spherical
harmonics and the Pauli exclusion principle. Helium, belonging to the s-block,
should be placed beside hydrogen in the s-block instead of the p-block.
Lutetium and lawrencium belonging to the d-block of the
transition metals should not be in the f-block of the
lanthanides or the actinoids. With these slight modifications, the IUPAC table
becomes quantum mechanics consistent.
