Ev. Polyakov, Assessment of the ionic radii of the hypothetical heaviest elements of theperiodic table by the methods of information theory, RADIOCHEMIS, 40(5), 1998, pp. 405-412
In the framework of the concept of information flow exchange by microsystem
s (atoms, ions, molecules) in formation of a chemical bond, an equation is
proposed demonstrating that the ratio between the size and the structure of
microsystems corresponds to the condition of the maximal transmittivity in
chemical communication channels. Using this equation, the change in the tr
ansmittivity in ionic-covalent chemical channels is studied. A corresponden
ce between the systematics of the ionic radii of the elements of the period
ic table and the conclusions from the relativistic model of a multielectron
atom is established. The existence of electrodynamically stable "superheav
y" elements (SHEs) with Z > 137 is assumed. The ionic radii in accordance w
ith the Shannon and Prewitt's systematics are estimated for a number of "li
ght" SHEs.
