Pyykkö Pekka Pyykkö used computer modeling to calculate the positions of elements up to Z = 172 and their possible chemical properties in an article published in 2011. He reproduced the orbital order of Fricke et al., and proposed a refinement of their table by formally assigning slots to elements 121–164 based on ionic configurations. thumb|center|512px In order to bookkeep the electrons, Pyykkö places some elements out of order: thus 139 and 140 are placed in groups 13 and 14 to reflect that the 8p1/2 shell needs to fill, and he distinguishes separate , 8p1/2, and 6f series. Fricke et al. and Nefedov et al. do not attempt to break up these series.
