Block (periodic table) in the extended periodic table whose outermost electrons are posited to include one or more g-orbital electrons. Block (periodic table) A block of the periodic table of elements is a set of adjacent groups. The term appears to have been first used by Charles Janet. The respective highest-energy electrons in each element in a block belong to the same atomic orbital type. Each block is named after its characteristic orbital; thus, the blocks are: The block names (s, p, d, f and g) are derived from the spectroscopic notation for the associated atomic orbitals: sharp, principal, diffuse and fundamental, and
Periodic table of topological invariants dimensions can be labeled by the elements of the formula_46-th homotopy group of the symmetric space. These groups are displayed in this table, called the periodic table of topological insulators: There may also exist weak topological invariants (associated to the fact that the suspension of the Brillouin zone is in fact equivalent to a formula_66 sphere wedged with lower-dimensional spheres), which are not included in this table. Furthermore, the table assumes the limit of an infinite number of bands, i.e. involves formula_67 Hamiltonians for formula_68. The table also is periodic in the sense that the group of invariants in formula_46
