 :::::What do you know, a consensus of 3:1 has become unacceptable. But I think you're missing the point. We know the gap is made ambiguous by Sc/Y/*/**. We know it results in an inconsistency with the Sc/Y/Lu/Lr 32-column periodic table, but the main argument for Sc/Y/*/** is that it emphasizes the chemical similarities of the lanthanides and actinides, as well as Sc and Y. Then both the 18- and 32-column periodic tables unite similar elements as much as possible (e.g. Yb is next to Lu in Sc/Y/Lu/Lr 32-column, but not in Sc/Y/Lu/Lr 18-column, whereas it is in Sc/Y/*/** 18-column), given the universally accepted constraint that one element takes up exactly one cell.   05:36, 9
