New Explanation of Periodic Table based on Coulomb Alone

RealQM as a new model for atoms based on non-overlapping electron unit charge densities interacting by Coulomb potentials has delivered a new explanation of the Periodic Table based on the numbers 2 and 8 carrying the physics of both period length 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32, 32, 50, 50, and period doubling as (8, 8), (18, 18), (32, 32) and (50, 50) in the following form:

• 2,  8, 18=2+8+8, 32 =8+8+8+8, 50 = 2+8+8+8+8+8.

Note that this is a fundamentally different explanation the the textbook one since 100 years based on the s, p, d, e, f orbitals of the eigenfunctions of the Hydrogen atom.

Read the explanation in this article under revision for IJQC.
