Pekka Pyykkö

Veli Pekka Pyykkö (born October 12, 1941)[1] is a Finnish academic. He was professor of Chemistry at the University of Helsinki.[1] From 2009–2012, he was the chairman of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science. He is known for his extension to the periodic table of elements,[2][3] known as the Pyykkö model.[4]

Pekka Pyykkö in 1991.

Pyykkö model

After the 118 elements now known, Pekka Pyykkö predicts that the orbital shells will fill up in this order:

  • 8s,
  • 5g,
  • the first two spaces of 8p,
  • 6f,
  • 7d,
  • 9s,
  • the first two spaces of 9p,
  • the rest of 8p.[5]

He also suggests that period 8 be split into three parts:

  • 8a, containing 8s,
  • 8b, containing the first two elements of 8p,
  • 8c, containing 7d and the rest of 8p.[5]

Pekka Pyykkö successfully predicted the possibility of a chemical bond between gold and the noble gas xenon, which is usually inert; this bond is known to occur in the cationic complex tetraxenonogold(II) (AuXe2+
4). He also successfully predicted the possibility of a gold–carbon triple bond.[6]
