Notes:
How the monotonic trend on which the periodicity of the periodic system is superposed is well described by Thomas-Fermi theory is explained. The mathematical structure of the periodicity is elucidated and explained. Algebraic formulas for the key atomic numbers are derived, e.g., the atomic number at which l electrons first appear is given by Zf(l) = 4 (∑n=0l n2)+1.
