argon
the next six elements on the periodic table should be the last main-group elements in their period, and are likely to be similar to the 5p elements indium through xenon. in elements 167 to 172, the 9p and 8p shells will be filled. their energy eigenvalues are so close together that they behave as one combined "p" shell, similar to the non-relativistic 2p and 3p shells. thus, the inert pair effect does not occur and the most common oxidation states of elements 167 to 170 should be +3, +4, +5, and +6 respectively. element 171 (unseptunium) is expected to show some similarities to the halogens, showing various oxidation states ranging from −1 to +7, although its physical properties should be closer to that of a metal. its electron affinity should be 3.0 ev, allowing it to form husu, analogous to a hydrogen halide. the usu ion is expected to be a soft base, comparable to iodide (i). element 172 (unseptbium) should be a noble gas with chemical behaviour similar to that of xenon, as their ionization energies should be very similar (xe, 1170.4 kj/mol; , 1090 kj/mol). the only main difference between them is that element 172, unlike xenon, is expected to be a liquid or a solid at standard temperature and pressure due to its much higher atomic weight. unseptbium should be a strong lewis acid, forming fluorides and oxides, similarly to its lighter congener xenon. because of the analogy of elements 165–172 to periods 2 and 3, fricke et al. considered them to form a ninth period of the periodic table, while the eighth period was taken by them to end at the noble metal element 164. this ninth period would be similar to the second and third period in that it should have no transition metals.
