Quantum Vectors and Atomic Stack Symmetry©

The Janet Periodic Table of Elements (1929) may be re-arranged as a series of square matrices. The matrices are of different sizes and each matrix organizes the atomic orbitals into square concentric rings. Each cell may be assigned an atomic number which also identifies a most significant electron. The matrices may be stacked vertically to form The Periodic Stack of Elements as shown below.

The sub-atomic particles may also be arranged as square matrices. These matrices may be stacked to form “The Periodic Stack of Particles”.

1. Introduction

Various forms of the Periodic Table of Elements are popular. One interesting arrangement is “The Periodic Table in Flatland”3. Another interesting table is derived from atomic ionization potentials1.  Eric Scerri (UCLA) has written extensively on variations of the Periodic Table. His table may be found at;

 

http://www.meta-synthesis.com/webbook/35_pt/pt_database.php?PT_id=20

 

Another form of the PT is based upon tetrahedral sphere packing.

The Janet Periodic Table2 is a 2D arrangement of the natural elements. Charles Janet first proposed this form of the Periodic Table in 1929. The Janet form of the Periodic Table has been proposed from time to time by various persons4. Acceptance of this table requires minor modification of the periods7.  According to Winter8, the Janet table is preferred by some persons to the standard form. Further information on the Janet table may be found at;

The Janet table can be arranged as a series of four square matrices. Each matrix is a different size. Each matrix arranges the atomic orbitals (s,p,d,f) into a series of concentric rings. The “s” ring is the core and the other orbitals form concentric rings around the core. The atomic number is used to identify the most significant electron (MSE) of an element in the ground state. Elements (actually MSEs) which are located on a major diagonal have the quantum number for orbital magnetic moment (m) equal to zero.


The matrices may be stacked vertically with the orbital rings aligned vertically. This is a 3D visualization of the natural elements called “The Periodic Stack of Elements”. Vertical sections through the stack give interesting groupings of elements.


If a quantum number ‘mn’ is admitted, then it may represent a magnetic moment associated with the principal quantum number (n). From observation it is possible to deduce a 2x3 matrix of quantum numbers.

 

The top row is;                n    ,     ,  s


The bottom row is;          mn  , m ,  ms 

 

A new set of quantum numbers (a, ma) may be derived from quantum numbers in the matrix. This new set is called the “aufbau pair” and it quantifies the aufbau principle.

 

The sub-atomic particles may also be arranged as a series of square matrices.

 


2. Most Significant Electron

All electrons of an atom in the ground state may be identified by a number from 1 to Z, with 1 being the least energetic and Z the most energetic. The atomic number (Z) of any element may have a dual purpose. In addition to identifying the number of protons in the nucleus, the atomic number may also be used to identify the “most significant electron” (MSE) of an atom in the ground state. This is usually the most energetic electron, which is normally the first electron to ionize the atom. The characteristics of this electron are represented by its quantum numbers. It is possible to represent the MSE (Z) of any element as a function of its quantum numbers.

 

3. The Periodic Stack of Chemical Elements

 

The Janet periodic table may be re-arranged into a series of square matrices. Each matrix is a different size. The matrices arrange the atomic orbitals as square concentric rings. The core is the ‘s’ orbital and the remaining orbits (p, d, f) are arranged concentrically around the core. The quantum numbers associated with the “most significant electron” of any element (in the ground state) determine the position of the element within the matrix. The matrices may be stacked vertically with the core and orbital rings in alignment. This is the “Periodic Stack of Elements” which resembles a stepped pyramid. Various pyramidal and tetrahedral forms of the PT have been postulated5.


Matrix Identification (a) ;

Each matrix is identified by a matrix number (a) where;        a = 1,2,3,4

Half-Matrix Identification (mn , ms) ;

The upper or lower half of each matrix is identified by a number (mn).

The upper half of each matrix is defined by ; mn = +½. 

The lower half of each matrix is defined by ; mn = -½.

The right or left half of each matrix is identified by the quantum number for spin magnetic moment (ms).

The right half of each matrix is defined by ; ms = +½.  

The left half of each matrix is defined by ; ms = -½.

Together mn and mS define a quadrant of any matrix.

Concentric Rings (ℓ);

Each matrix may be viewed as a set of concentric square rings arranged around a core. The core is the inner four cells. Each ring is identified by the quantum number for orbital angular momentum (ℓ).

The core of each matrix is defined by ; ℓ = 0

The outermost ring of each matrix is defined by ;  ℓ =  a - 1

Electrons with quantum number "ℓ" greater than three are not known to be of any significance in chemical processes.  This implies that the matrix number (a) may have a limiting value of four, and that the atomic number (Z) may have a limiting value of 120.

Displacement from Diagonal (m);

Displacement from a major diagonal of a matrix is identified by the quantum number for magnetic moment (m). 

A cell on the diagonal is defined by ;             m = 0

A column displacement is defined by ;          m = positive

A row displacement is defined by ;                m = negative

Inert Gases ;

The inert gases form two vertical columns within the stack.  The location of one vertical column (18, 54, 118) is given by ; 

ℓ = 1 ,   mn = -½ ,    m = 1,   ms =  -½.

The location of the other vertical column (10, 36, 86) is given by ;   

ℓ = 1 ,  mn = +½ ,   m = 1 ,  ms = -½.  

The inert gases are represented by blocks with red labels in the illustration below. The heavy score line separates quarters of the stack.

Other chemical commonalities may be viewed in vertical sections of the stack.  Diagonal sections are also interesting.

4. The Quantum Numbers

The quantum numbers (n , , mℓ , ms) are associated with electron motion and are defined as follows.

 

            n is the principal quantum number

            is the azimuthal quantum number for orbital angular momentum

            m is orbital magnetic moment

            ms is spin magnetic moment ( ms = ± ½ ) (spin up, spin down)

            s is the quantum number for spin angular momentum (s = ½ ).

            Z is the atomic number and the MSE identifier for a ground state atom

 

The spin quantum number is usually omitted as it is the same value for all electrons.

 

 

5. Orbital Angular Momentum

The azimuthal quantum number is associated with orbital motion relative to the nucleus6. The orbital angular momentum (L) of the electron is quantized to ‘’ as follows;

 

                        L2  =  (+1)ħ2  

 

Where;             ħ = h/2π 

                        h is Plank’s constant (a fundamental unit of angular momentum)

 

A magnetic moment (Lz) is associated with orbital motion;   Lz = mħ

 

 

6. Spin Angular Momentum

The spin angular momentum (S) of the electron is quantized to ‘s’ as follows;

 

                        S2  =  s(s+1)ħ2   =  ¾ ħ2 

 

S  =  ½√3ħ 

 

A magnetic moment (Sz) is associated with spin motion;       Sz = ms ħ

 

 

 

7. Trajectory Spin Angular Momentum

It is convenient to assume that orbital motion is confined to a single spatial plane. The trajectory of the orbit surrounds the nucleus and is a closed path such as a circle, ellipse, or lobe. A surface of electron motion is generated by rotating the plane trajectory around an axis of rotation. This shall be called “trajectory spin”.  It shall be assumed that the spin axis is confined to the trajectory plane and that it passes through the nucleus. If the axis of spin is aligned with the major axis of the trajectory a simple surface is generated. If the spin axis is tilted by some angle from the major axis, then the surface has a self intersecting region.

 

 

 

 

The angular momentum (N) associated with trajectory spin is quantized to ‘n’ as follows;

 

                        N2  =  CN2n(n+1)ħ2    

 

Where; CN  is a constant depending upon trajectory shape and the tilt of the axis of rotation.

 

A magnetic moment (Nz) is associated with trajectory spin;  Nz = CNmn ħ

 

Where; mn  is a quantum number for the magnetic moment of trajectory spin.

 

                        mn =  ± ½ (rotation up, rotation down)

 

It may also be conjectured that ‘mn’ represents a magnetic dipole with orientation described as “dipole north” or “dipole south”.

 

 8. The Quantum Matrix

If a quantum number for trajectory magnetic moment (mn) is admitted, then a quantum matrix (MZ) may be constructed as follows;

 

                                    MZ  =    n ,    ,   s 

                                                  mn , m , ms

 

The top row represents various forms of angular momentum. The sum of all quantum numbers for angular momentum (LT) is; 

 

                                    LT = n + + s 

 

The bottom row represents various forms of magnetic moment. The sum of all quantum numbers for magnetic moment (mT) is;

 

                                    mT = mn + m + ms

 

9. Couples

The members of the quantum matrix may be arranged into couples of momentum and magnetic moment which correspond to the columns of MZ. 

 

            Principal couple (N¢);              N¢ = n + mn

            Orbital couple (L¢);                 L¢  = + m

            Spin couple (S¢);                      S¢  = s + ms

 

It shall be assumed that an electron’s surface of motion precesses. The momentum associated with precession will have a quantum number (a) which shall be called the “Aufbau Number”. An associated magnetic moment (ma) completes the Aufbau Couple (A¢).

 

                                                            A¢ = a + ma

 

Where; 'a' takes values 1, 2, 3, 4

 

The aufbau principle may be quantified using two simple averages;

 

                        A¢ = ½( LT + mT)         The couple average

 

                        ma = ½( m + ms)         The magnetic average

 

Substitution gives;      2a = n + + s + mn                               

 

If ;       mn = - ½

 

Then the Madelung rule is formed;     2a = n +

 

If ;       mn = + ½

 

Then the Madelung rule is modified; 2a = n + ℓ + 1

 

Atomic orbitals (s, p, d, f ) are defined by as follows;

 

                        s:    = 0,

                        p:   = 1,

                        d:   = 2, 

                        f:    = 3 

 

The aufbau number (a) and the magnetic number (mn) summarize the electronic filling sequence of an atom. Groupings of atomic orbitals (n, ) corresponding to the aufbau-magnetic pair (a, mn) are; 

 

                        (1, +½)   = 1s

                        (1, -½)    = 2s

                        (2, +½)   = 3s, 2p

                        (2, -½)    = 4s, 3p

                        (3, +½)   = 5s, 4p, 3d

                        (3, -½)    = 6s, 5p, 4d

                        (4, +½)   = 7s, 6p, 5d, 4f

                        (4, -½)    = 8s, 7p, 6d, 5f 

 

10. Quantization

The quantised rotational energy of a rigid rotor (ER) is ;        ER = q(q+1)E0

 

Where;             q is a generic quantum number

                        E0 is a fundamental energy

 

The vibrational energy of a simple harmonic oscillator (EH) is quantised;  EH = (q+½)E0 

 

The energy ratio (rotation/vibration) is;          ER / EH   =   q(q+1) / (q+½)  =  tan(fq) 

 

                                                                        q/(q+1)  =  tan(½fq) 

 

Where;             fq is the angle of quantization of rotation and vibration to quantum number q.

 

The total energy (ET) is;          ET2 = ER2  + EH2    

 

ET  - EH  =  q2E0 

 

ET - EH  - ER  =  -qE0 

 

A particle energy ratio is;        EP /ER  

 

Where;  EP  is particle energy  

 

EP  =  LP/t  

 

Where;  LP  is angular momentum of a particle

              t is a time interval

 

A wave energy ratio is;           hω /EH  

 

Where;  ω is frequency of vibration

              h is plank’s constant

 

It shall be assumed that a condition for steady state motion is;        

 

Particle ratio = wave ratio

 

EP /ER = hω /EH   

 

EP /hω  =  ER/EH  =  tan(fq) 

 

LP/thω  =  tan(fq) 

 

If;        LP  =  mvr

            h  =  m00 

 

Then;   mvr/tm00ω  =  tan(fq)

 

If;        r/t  =  λ0ω       

 

and;     sin(fq)  =  v/c  

 

Then;   cos(fq)  =  m0/m  

 

Giving;              1 =  (m0/m)2  +  (v/c)2 

 

This is the definition of relativistic mass (m).


11. Quantum Vectors

A quantum vector has quantized magnitudes which are functions of the quantum numbers. The unit vectors (i , j , k) form the basis of an orthogonal co-ordinate system. The complex constant (i) may identify an unobservable characteristic;    i2 + 1 = 0

 

A fundamental magnitude of momentum (p0) is;       p0 = h/λ0 

 

Two momentum vectors will be assumed to act upon each MSE as follows;

 

Electric momentum (p1) is;

 

p1 =  2[a(a+1)(a+½)/3]½ p0 i   +   i[2(+½)]½ p0  j   +   i[s(s+½)]½ p0 k 

 

Magnetic momentum (p2) is;

 

p2 =  i[2a2(mn+½)]½ p0 i   +   i[2(+½)(ms+½)]½ p0 j   +   [(s+½)(m+½)]½ p0 k 

 

The electro-magnetic momentum (p3) is;                    p3 =  p1 +  p2 

 

If;  p1 and p2 act orthogonally, then; | p3|2  =  | p1|2 +  | p2|2      

 

            | p1|2 =  (4/3)a(a+1)(a+½)p02   -  2(+½)p02   -   s(s+½)p02 

 

| p2|2 =  -2a2(mn+½)p02   -  2(+½)(ms+½)p02   +   (s+½)(m+½)p02 

 

| p3|2 =  Zp02

 

Giving;

 

Z = 4/3a(a+1)(a+½)  -  2ℓ(ℓ+½)  -  s(s+½)  - 2a2(mn+½)  -  2(ℓ+½)(mS+½)  +  (s+½)(m+½)  

 

Where the Aufbau principle gives;     2a = n + ℓ + s + mn

 

 

12. Single Electron Systems

Electro-magnetic energy (E3) is;         E3 =  | p3|2 /m0  =  Zp02/m0  =  ZE0 

 

For a single electron system the fundamental energy (E0) is; E0  =  -e2/2ε0r     

 

Where; e is the charge of a proton

            -e is the charge of an electron

             r is the average distance between an electron and the nucleus

 

The energy balance for a single electron system shall be;

 

(ET)(Eω)2  +  (Em)(E3)2  =  0

 

 

 

Where;   ET  is the total energy of a single electron system

  Eω  is the wave energy

  Em  is the particle energy

  E3  is the electro-magnetic energy (assuming the magnetic part is minimal)

 

The energies have values as follows;  

 

  Eω  =  nhω 

  Em  =  ½ mv2    

  E3  =  -Ze2/2ε0r

 

Giving total energy;  ET  =  -(½ mv2)( -Ze2/2ε0r) 2/( nhω)2

 

If;        v = rω    

 

Then;   ET  =  -mZ2e4/ 8ε02n2h2

 

13. Calculations for Multiple Electron Systems

The following calculations demonstrate that the atomic number of an element is related to its location within the stack. This may also be restated as follows; the MSE identification number is a function of the quantum numbers of the MSE.

 

Example 1;

Titanium has atomic number ;             Z = 22.

 

The Quantum Matrix for Titanium is;

 

            M22 =      3 ,   2  ,  ½

                        +½ ,  -1 ,  

 

The aufbau number is;

 

            2a = n + + s + mn

 

            2a = 3 + 2 + ½ + ½

 

            a = 3

 

The MSE number is;

 

Z = 4/3a(a+1)(a+½)  -  2ℓ(ℓ+½)  -  s(s+½)  - 2a2(mn+½)  -  2(ℓ+½)(mS+½)  +  (s+½)(m+½) 

 

Z = (4/3)3(3+1)(3+½)  -  2(2)(2+½)  -  ½(½+½)  - 2(9)( ½+½)  -  2(2+½)(½+½)  +  (½+½)(-1+½)

 

Z = 56  -  10 -    - 18  -  5  +  - ½

 

Z = 22 

 


 

Example 2;

Bismuth has atomic number ; Z = 83.

 

The Quantum Matrix for Bismuth is;

 

            M83 =     6  ,    1 ,   

                        +½ ,  +1 ,   

 

The aufbau number is;

 

            2a = n + + s + mn

 

            2a = 6 + 1 + ½ + ½

 

            a = 4

 

The MSE number is;

 

Z = 4/3a(a+1)(a+½)  -  2ℓ(ℓ+½)  -  s(s+½)  - 2a2(mn+½)  -  2(ℓ+½)(mS+½)  +  (s+½)(m+½) 

 

Z = (4/3)4(4+1)(4+½)  -  2(1)(1+½)  -  ½(½+½)  - 2(16)( ½+½)  -  2(1+½)(½+½)  +  (½+½)(1+½)

 

Z = 120  -  3 -    - 32  -  3  +  1 ½

 

Z = 83 

 

 

14. Dynamic Matrices

 

The Atomic Stack is a 3D Periodic Table. It places the MSE of an element in a cell determined by quantum numbers. For an element in the ground state the atomic number is the MSE number.

 

For any element not in the ground state, or for any ion, or for an atom bound within a molecule, the matrix may be used to show the “location” (condition) of each electron. It will be observed that some type of symmetry with respect to major diagonals is required. This means that orbital magnetic moment (m) is a determining factor when locating dynamic electrons.

 

Dynamic matrices may be a useful technique to represent molecular interaction, they will not be discussed in detail.

 


15. Fundamental Principles of Chemistry

The following fundamental principles of chemistry have an application to the periodic stack.

 

 

The Aufbau Principle;

The Aufbau principle states that generally an electron will occupy the lowest energy state available.  This principle also indicates the order in which atomic orbitals are occupied.  It is possible to quantify the Aufbau principle using the matrix numbers (a, mn), which indicate the filling order of atomic orbitals.

 

 

The Exclusion Principle;

The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that no two electrons within the same atom may have the same set of quantum numbers. This principle may be restated as no two electrons of the same atomic system can have the same quantum matrix.

 

 

The Hund Principle;

The Hund principle states that atomic orbitals must be half filled by electrons of the same spin before an electron of opposite spin enters the orbital. This is easily observed in the atomic stack which has the right side of an orbital with positive spin and the left side with negative spin. The right side of a square ring must be completely labeled before the left side can be labeled.

 

 

Madelung’s Rule;

Madelung’s rule states that the orbitals fill with electrons as;            n+ ℓ . 

This rule may be expressed generally as;        2a =  n + ℓ  + s  +  mn  

 

If  mn  =  - ½  ;                                    Then ; 2a = n + ℓ 

If  mn  =  + ½ ;                                    Then ; 2a =  n + ℓ  + 1

There is no known theoretical limit to the size of an atom.  Chemical reactions with  ℓ > 3 have not been observed.  If we assume that ℓ = 3  is the limiting value of the azimuthal quantum number, then the limiting value of the aufbau number is forced to be a = 4.  This suggests an upper limit on the size of an atom of  Z = 120.  Heavy elements degenerate quickly making it unlikely that element 120 could be synthesized.

 

16. The Periodic Stack of Particles

The sub-atomic particles may also be arranged as square matrices. The particles within a matrix are arranged by “family” into “square rings” surrounding a central “core”.  The core contains only force carrier particles. The lepton and quark families (including anti-particles) are arranged as square rings surrounding their associated bosons. The matrices may be stacked vertically to form the Periodic Stack of Particles. Some cells within a matrix may represent unknown particles.

17. Particle Quantum Numbers

The numbers used to locate a particle within a matrix may be called “particle quantum numbers” (pqn). Unlike the chemical quantum numbers, no known physical characteristic may be associated with a pqn. The pqn's may also be arranged as a matrix (MP) as follows;

 

                        MP  =   q1 ,    q2 ,    q3  

                                    q1- ,   q2- ,    q3-              

 

Matrix Identification (q1) ;

Each particle matrix is identified by a pqm (q1) where;          q1 = 1,2,3,4

The concept of spin does not apply to a pqn, therefore the corresponding pqn is arbitrary;  q3  =  ½ 

Quadrant Identification (q1-  , q3- ) ;

One half of each matrix is identified by a pqn (q1- ). The upper half of each matrix is defined by ; q1-  = ½.  The lower half of each matrix is defined by ; q1- = -½.

One half of each matrix is identified by a pqn (q3-).  The right half of each matrix is defined by ; q3- = ½. The left half of each matrix is defined by ; q3- = -½.

Together q1- and q3- define a quadrant of any particle matrix. 

Concentric Rings (q2);

Each matrix may be viewed as a set of concentric square rings arranged around a core. The core is the inner four cells.  Each ring is identified by a pqn (q2).

The core of each particle matrix is defined by ;  q2 = 0

The outermost ring of each matrix is defined by ;  q2 =  q1 - 1

Displacement from Diagonal (q2- );

Displacement from a major diagonal of a particle matrix is identified by a pqn (q2- ). 

A cell on the diagonal is defined by ;                         q2-  = 0

A column displacement is defined by ;          q2-  = positive

A row displacement is defined by ;                q2-  = negative

 

 

 

18. The Particle Number

Each sub-atomic particle may be assigned a “particle number” (P) as an identifier, similar in concept to the use of an atomic number (Z) as the identifier of a chemical element. Some particle numbers are;

 

                                                   P = 5 represents the up quark

                                                   P = 6 represents the charm quark

                                                   P = 15 represents the anti-top quark

                                                   P = 31 represents the electron

                                                   P = 37 represents the photon

                                                   P = 49 represents the positron

 

The P number is related to a particle's location within the stack, which is determined by its pqn matrix (MP). The P number is related to a particles pqn's as follows;

 

         P  =  (4/3)q1(q1+1)(q1+½)  - 2q12(q1- +½)  - 2q2(q2 +½)  - 2(q2 +½)(q3- +½)  + (q2- +½)  - ½
