What and How Physics Contributes to Understanding the Periodic Law

摘要: The current status of explanation worked out by Physics for the Periodic Law is considered from philosophical and methodological points view. principle gnosiological role approximations models in providing interpretation complicated systems emphasized. achievements, deficiencies perspectives existing quantum mechanical Table are discussed. mainstream ab initio theory based on analysis selfconsistent one-electron effective potential. Alternative approaches employing symmetry considerations applying group usually require some empirical information. approximate dynamic potential casts light secondary periodicity phenomenon. patterns found various multiparticle (atoms special situations, atomic nuclei, clusters, particles traps, etc) comprise a field comparative study Laws nature.
