Description

The usual Mendeleev periodic tables of the chemical elements are already 97 % in accord with quantum mechanics. Three elements only do not fit correctly into it, in disagreement with the Pauli exclusion principle. In order to ensure coherence, it is put forward to place helium beside hydrogen into the s-block. Lutetium and lawrencium pertain to the d block of the transition metals and should not be in the f block with the rare earths or the actinoids. By replacing the lanthanoids (rare earths or lanthanides) and actinoids (actinides) boxes of the official IUPAC periodic table by those of lutetium and lawrencium, with helium placed beside hydrogen, the compact periodic table is 100 % quantum mechanics correct.
