article_snippet.sent: However, some chemists have argued that placing lawrencium at the end of 'f-block' was incorrect and some chemists should be put in the 'd-block' of the main table.
article_snippet.sent: Dr William Jensen, a chemist at the University of Cincinnati, argues that along with lutetium, lawrencium is misplaced in the f-block.
article_snippet.sent: However, Dr Eric Scerri, a chemist and historian at the University of California Los Angeles, said the new results supported the push to move lawrencium into the min part of the table.
article_snippet.sent: Dr Eric Scerri, a chemist and historian at the University of California Los Angeles said: 'If the Periodic Table is presented in the more correct 32-column or long-format, and if one maintains the order of increasing atomic numbers throughout the table, one is inevitably led to the conclusion that Lu and Lr belong to group 3 and that La and Ac should be placed at the start of the f-block elements.'
highlights_snippet.sent: It is likely to fuel the debate for lawrencium to be in the main body of table .
