In this account we revive the old discussion on the possible placement of helium in the Group 2, while preserving the position of neon in Group 18. We provide quantum-chemical arguments for such scenario—as well as other qualitative and quantitative arguments—and we describe previous suggestions in the literature which support it or put it into question. To this author’s own taste, He should be placed in Group 2."/> <meta name="prism.issn" content="1572-8463"/> <meta name="prism.publicationName" content="Foundations of Chemistry"/> <meta name="prism.publicationDate" content="2017-11-01"/> <meta name="prism.volume" content="20"/> <meta name="prism.number" content="3"/> <meta name="prism.section" content="OriginalPaper"/> <meta name="prism.startingPage" content="191"/> <meta name="prism.endingPage" content="207"/> <meta name="prism.copyright" content="2017 The Author(s)"/> <meta name="prism.rightsAgent" content="journalpermissions@springernature.com"/> <meta name="prism.url" content="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7"/> <meta name="prism.doi" content="doi:10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7"/> <meta name="citation_pdf_url" content="https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7.pdf"/> <meta name="citation_fulltext_html_url" content="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7"/> <meta name="citation_journal_title" content="Foundations of Chemistry"/> <meta name="citation_journal_abbrev" content="Found Chem"/> <meta name="citation_publisher" content="Springer Netherlands"/> <meta name="citation_issn" content="1572-8463"/> <meta name="citation_title" content="On the position of helium and neon in the Periodic Table of Elements"/> <meta name="citation_volume" content="20"/> <meta name="citation_issue" content="3"/> <meta name="citation_publication_date" content="2018/10"/> <meta name="citation_online_date" content="2017/11/01"/> <meta name="citation_firstpage" content="191"/> <meta name="citation_lastpage" content="207"/> <meta name="citation_article_type" content="Article"/> <meta name="citation_fulltext_world_readable" content=""/> <meta name="citation_language" content="en"/> <meta name="dc.identifier" content="doi:10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7"/> <meta name="DOI" content="10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7"/> <meta name="size" content="201400"/> <meta name="citation_doi" content="10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7"/> <meta name="citation_springer_api_url" content="http://api.springer.com/xmldata/jats?q=doi:10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7&api_key="/> <meta name="description" content="Helium and neon, the two lightest noble gases, have been traditionally positioned by IUPAC in the Group 18 of the Periodic Table of Elements, together with"/> <meta name="dc.creator" content="Grochala, Wojciech"/> <meta name="dc.subject" content="Philosophy of Science"/> <meta name="dc.subject" content="Chemistry/Food Science, general"/> <meta name="dc.subject" content="History, general"/> <meta name="dc.subject" content="Physical Chemistry"/> <meta name="citation_reference" content="citation_journal_title=J.

In this account we revive the old discussion on the possible placement of helium in the Group 2, while preserving the position of neon in Group 18. We provide quantum-chemical arguments for such scenario—as well as other qualitative and quantitative arguments—and we describe previous suggestions in the literature which support it or put it into question.

In this account we revive the old discussion on the possible placement of helium in the Group 2, while preserving the position of neon in Group 18. We provide quantum-chemical arguments for such scenario—as well as other qualitative and quantitative arguments—and we describe previous suggestions in the literature which support it or put it into question. To this author’s own taste, He should be placed in Group

positioned by IUPAC in the Group 18 of the Periodic Table of Elements, together with argon, and other unreactive or moderately reactive gaseous elements (krypton, xenon, radon), and oganesson. In this account we revive the old discussion on the possible placement of helium in the Group 2, while preserving the position of neon in Group 18. We provide quantum-chemical arguments for such scenario—as well as other qualitative and quantitative arguments—and we describe previous suggestions in the literature which support it or put it into question. To this author’s own taste, He should be placed in Group 2.</p></div></div></section> <div data-test="cobranding-download"> </div> <section aria-labelledby="inline-recommendations" data-title="Inline Recommendations" class="c-article-recommendations" data-track-component="inline-recommendations"> <h3 class="c-article-recommendations-title" id="inline-recommendations">Similar content being viewed by others</h3> <div class="c-article-recommendations-list"> <div class="c-article-recommendations-list__item"> <article class="c-article-recommendations-card" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__img"><img src="https://media.springernature.com/w92h120/springer-static/cover-hires/book/978-3-319-15123-6?as=webp" loading="lazy" alt=""></div> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__main"> <h3 class="c-article-recommendations-card__heading" itemprop="name headline"> <a class="c-article-recommendations-card__link" itemprop="url" href="https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-15123-6_1?fromPaywallRec=false" data-track="select_recommendations_1" data-track-context="inline recommendations" data-track-action="click recommendations inline - 1" data-track-label="10.1007/978-3-319-15123-6_1">What Is Helium?

This version follows to some extent the early formulation by Mendeleyev, and introduces Group VIII containing Fe, Co, Ni, and their heavier analogues. Here, noble gases stand out as Group 0, to emphasize lack of room for them in the original Mendeleyev’s formulation; this happily coincides with their null (or weak at best) bond-forming ability. On the other hand, the Periodic Table recommended to this author during education in the comprehensive school a decade later was the so-called long version (LPT), with the transition metal elements clearly separated from the main group ones (Fig. <a data-track="click" data-track-label="link" data-track-action="figure anchor" href="/article/10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7#Fig1">1</a> bottom, Roman numerals). Here, the A and B Groups still persisted. Finally, the freshman years of the 1990s brought another, more subtle, modification: the giant Periodic Table depicted in the Grand Aula of the Chemistry Faculty of the University of Warsaw corresponds to a long version, with noble gases placed in the last Group of the chart, the Group numbering now running from 1 to 18 in Arabic rather than Roman numbers (Fig. <a data-track="click" data-track-label="link" data-track-action="figure anchor" href="/article/10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7#Fig1">1</a> bottom, Arabic numerals). Now, the old Group VIII encompasses three modern Groups: 8, 9 and 10. This version of the Table survived in the main didactic room to this day, except for a few elements being given their new IUPAC-recommended names (Francl <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 2009" title="Francl, M.: Table manners.

It may seem that with the naming of the last superheavy elements in 2016, the history of the formulation of the Periodic Chart is closed, or at least it will rest until the new Period is opened due to a synthesis of a Z > 118 element (Seaborg <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 1969" title="Seaborg, G.T.: Prospects for further considerable extension of the periodic table.

For nearly one century since the discovery of helium chemists attempted to turn noble gases into chemical compounds, but they all failed, albeit some came very close. It was in the outburst of genius that Bartlett decided to react xenon with a small sample of PtF<sub>6</sub> which resulted in the isolation of the first noble gas compound (Bartlett <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 1962" title="Bartlett, N.: Xenon hexafluoroplatinate (V) Xe+[PtF6]−.

One particularly interesting case is that of Na<sub>2</sub>He at very high pressures, which is called “stable” and “compound” by the authors (Dong et al. <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 2017" title="Dong, X., Oganov, A.R., Goncharov, A.F., Stavrou, E., Lobanov, S., Saleh, G., Qian, G.-R., Zhu, Q., Gatti, C., Deringer, V.L., Dronskowski, R., Zhou, X.-F., Prakapenka, V., Konôpková, Z., Popov, I.A., Boldyrev, A.I., Wang, H.-T.: Stable compound of helium and sodium at high pressure.

Peculiar Na<sub>2</sub>He calls for making our definitions of “compound” more precise (more on that anon in the last section).</p></div><div class="c-article-section__content"><p>Despite these impressive developments, neon and helium have <i>not</i> been forced to form genuine chemical bonds in <i>neutral entities</i> to this day. The status of the ingenious but fruitless efforts as of 1990 has been summarized in the insightful review (Frenking et al. <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 1990" title="Frenking, G., Koch, W., Reichel, F., Cremer, D.: Light noble-gas chemistry - structures, stabilities, and bonding of helium, neon and argon compounds. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 112(11), 4240–4256 (1990)" href="/article/10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7#ref-CR200" id="ref-link-section-d55432524e615">1990</a>). It is important to realize here that the genuine challenge in formation of noble gas species is connected with <i>electrically neutral systems</i>. This issue is similar in some aspects to the following one: what is the largest oxidation state which may be achieved for a given element? While this question is certainly very important, it should be specified that only <i>electrically neutral</i> isolable entities constitute real challenge in this matter; take uranium: it is not a major problem to generate U<sup>92+</sup> cations by physical means. However, it is a paramount obstacle to go beyond the formal oxidation state of U<sup>6+</sup> in neutral compounds of this element using chemical means. By a similar token, it is very easy to generate chemical bonds to helium, or to neon, letting alone argon and heavier noble gases—but one must use naked cations to bind them. To give an example: HAr<sup>+</sup> is an extremely common cationic species in gas spectrometry, which inevitably appears in every experiment conducted in the flow of “inert” argon gas. Similarly, HHe<sup>+</sup>—isoelectronic to H<sub>2</sub>—is very strongly bound, with the perfectly normal two-electron sigma bond, and the bond dissociation energy approaching 2 eV (as it has been calculated already in the early days of quantum mechanics over a century ago). HHe<sup>+</sup> is by no means elusive—it has been first observed in 1925. Indeed, a multitude of <i>helides</i>, i.e. MHe<span class="c-stack"> <sup>m+</sup><sub>n</sub> </span> cations, should be easy to prepare, as well, as they are usually very stable with respect to dissociation (Frenking et al. <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 1990" title="Frenking, G., Koch, W., Reichel, F., Cremer, D.: Light noble-gas chemistry - structures, stabilities, and bonding of helium, neon and argon compounds.

Obviously, analogous cationic species containing neon or argon are even more facile to manufacture than those of helium, since Lewis basicity (measured by proton affinity) of light noble gas atoms increases in the order: He (1.84 eV) < Ne (2.06 eV) ≪ Ar (3.83 eV).

But the calculated Ar–Be bond energy is only 0.3 eV, and the bond can only be considered as anomalously strongly bound van der Waals complex rather than covalently bound moiety. This is also the case of the related NeBeS adduct which exhibits an even smaller value of the bonding energy (Wang and Wang <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 2013" title="Wang, Q., Wang, X.: Infrared spectra of NgBeS (Ng = Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe) and BeS2 in noble-gas matrices.

No helium adducts of this kind were ever prepared, albeit they have been theorized. Similarly, isoelectronic adducts of the type RNBeNG (where R is an electronegative substituent) were studied theoretically (Antoniotti et al. <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 2003" title="Antoniotti, P., Bronzolino, N., Grandinetti, F.: Stable compounds of the lightest noble gases: a computational investigation of RNBeNg (Ng = He, Ne, Ar).

Not surprisingly, for all complexes which are weakly bound via polarization forces, stability of helium adducts is somewhat smaller than that of the respective neon ones (helium has just two electrons, while neon has ten).</p></div><div class="c-article-section__content"><p>The neutral compounds of helium and neon bearing strong covalent bonds to noble gas atom were considered nearly half a century ago (Liebman and Allen <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 1970" title="Liebman, J.F., Allen, L.C.: A salt chemistry of light noble gas compounds.

These authors have noticed that the <sup>1</sup>Σ singlet states of NGF<sup>+</sup> (NG = He, Ne) cations exhibit short equilibrium bond lengths (1.33 Å for He; 1.65 Å for Ne, indicative of covalent bonding) and they are bound by over 1.2 eV (albeit helium species slightly more than the neon one!); these authors have speculated that salts of these cations might be prepared. These predictions were never confirmed in experiment. One major difficulty in obtaining such salts sits in immense oxidizing power of NGF<sup>+</sup> cations, and another in the fact that their ground state corresponds to a dissociative triplet state, and it is placed over 2 eV below the above-mentioned singlet. Thus—if preparable—these salts would likely be thermally unstable or even explosive. Following a similar line of reasoning it was pointed out that the ArH<sup>+</sup> salts in the solid state (letting alone the NeH<sup>+</sup> and HeH<sup>+</sup> ones!) are unlikely to be prepared since we currently do not have a Lewis acid powerful enough to withdraw F<sup>−</sup> anion from the neutral HArF molecule (Christe <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 2001" title="Christe, K.O.: A renaissance in noble gas chemistry.

In other words, the salts bearing NGF<sup>+</sup> or NGH<sup>+</sup> cations (NG = Ar, Ne, He) would, by necessity, be thermodynamically unstable albeit possibly metastable (Frenking et al. <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 1989" title="Frenking, G., Koch, W., Deakyne, C.A., Liebman, J.F., Bartlett, N.: The ArF+ cation.

For example, ArFSbF<sub>6</sub> was estimated to be unstable by over 1 eV with respect to Ar, F<sub>2</sub> and SbF<sub>5</sub>. It is completely unclear at this moment what reaction pathways could be used to generate such metastable species, since even more unstable precursors should possibly be used for a facile (downhill) reaction.

However, the ZPE-corrrected energy barrier for the highly exoenergetic dissociation (by nearly 7 eV!) to HF and He amounts to 25.3 kJ mol<sup>−1</sup> which may not be sufficient for isolating of this molecule (Wong <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 2000" title="Wong, M.W.: Prediction of a metastable helium compound: HHeF.

Albeit the bonds to NG are stiffened at high pressure, this strategy has multiple problems, such as for example necessity to keep the HHeF molecules strictly isolated from one another.

This interesting minimum on the potential energy surface features a short covalent He–O bond at ~ 1.15 Å; the bond is slightly polarized with the electrons transferred <i>from helium to oxygen</i> (He<sup>δ+</sup>O<sup>δ−</sup>). This suggests that neutral helium atom is a lone pair donor towards an unusual Lewis acid: a singlet oxygen atom (He → <sup>1</sup>O). The (HeO)(LiF)<sub>2</sub> molecule is also different from other neutral species bearing helium by the fact that the noble gas atom has only one close neighbor and the <i>trans</i> position is free (this helps to avoid hypervalence at helium).

Placement of H over Li and He over Be leads to the following picture: the normalized I<sub>P</sub> drops considerably between H and Li and between He and Be (emphasizing the well-known substantial discrepancy between the properties of elements from Period 1 and Period 2), and then drops more smoothly for the subsequent periods (only Period 7 elements slightly bend this trend as compared to their Period 6 counterparts due to well-known relativistic effects). Similar trends is seen for Groups 17 and 18, albeit the fall of normalized I<sub>P</sub> is not as dramatic (recall, we now start with Period 2 elements, F and Ne, as the first members of their series). Remarkably, Group 1 and Group 2 elements show (quantitatively) very similar behaviour, so do Group 17 and Group 18 elements. This emphasizes the fact that for the former it is the s shell which is ionized, while for the latter it is the p shell. Precisely this argument has been used by Bent (Bent <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 2006" title="Bent, H.: New ideas in chemistry from fresh energy for the periodic law.

Although the normalized I<sub>P</sub> values fall as before with the increase of the Period number, yet there appear marked (quantitative) differences between the first two groups of elements (Groups 1 and 2), as well as between the latter two (Groups 17 and 18).</p></div><div class="c-article-section__content"><p>Finally, if we decide to follow the traditional placement with H in Group 1 and He in Group 18, the discrepancies between the trends seen for Group and Group 2 are even larger than in the previously discussed case. And the (natural) large drop of the normalized I<sub>P</sub> between H and Li is not seen for Group 2, since He is no longer in this Group.</p></div><div class="c-article-section__content"><p>The supplemental analysis of the normalized E<sub>A</sub> concerns two major situations: H is placed in Group or in Group 17. The placement of He does not matter here since its E<sub>A</sub> is null, and therefore it fits either Group 2 (with Be showing the same value) or Group 18 (Ne having the same feature). Among the two situations the one with H placed in Group 1 seems more natural, as the normalized E<sub>A</sub> value drops slowly for Group 1 elements (again, except the reversed trend from Period 6 to Period 7 due to relativistic effects). However, if H is placed in Group 17, as advocated by some, the normalized E<sub>A</sub> skyrockets up to nearly 5, since the values for F and Cl are much larger than that for H. Thus, the traditional placement of H in Group 1 does indeed have more pros than cons, and more supporters.</p></div><div class="c-article-section__content"><p>Taking this altogether, it seems that placement of H over Li and He over Be leads to the most balanced picture, with natural trends for both the normalized I<sub>P</sub> and the normalized E<sub>A</sub> as one goes down the four respective Groups of the Periodic Chart.</p></div><div class="c-article-section__content"><p>So, what do we have to lose by placing He over Be?

One particular Con is that with placement of He above Be, the first (historically) gaseous noble element, helium, discovered 150 years ago, would be absent from the group colloquially called “noble gases”. Simultaneously, in the traditional constructions of the periodic Chart (Fig. <a data-track="click" data-track-label="link" data-track-action="figure anchor" href="/article/10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7#Fig1">1</a>), the elements with the largest I<sub>P</sub> values are expected to appear in the upper right corner; while in this case the highest-I<sub>P</sub> element, helium, would be elsewhere (this is irrelevant, though, to the left-step forms, where each block has its right top corner).</p></div><div class="c-article-section__content"><p>However, among numerous Pros for placing He above Be, one notices that such placement reproduces consistently the large gap between properties of Period 1 and 2 elements. In other words, nonmetals open Groups 1 and 2 (where mostly metals reside). Hydrogen is as much an alkali metal as helium is an alkali earth metal (as Fig. <a data-track="click" data-track-label="link" data-track-action="figure anchor" href="/article/10.1007/s10698-017-9302-7#Fig6">6</a>, top left part clearly shows).</p></div><div class="c-article-section__content"><p>As Schwarz has insightfully put it in his e-mail exchange with this author (2016), there are as many versions of the Table as many features you expected to be assembled, rationalized, and taught to students. This is definitely true. There is no single way to solve this puzzle. So I am following personal idiosyncrasies here.<sup><a href="#Fn2"><span class="u-visually-hidden">Footnote </span>2</a></sup> What an experimentalist in me expects from the Periodic Table when I teach students, is that—aside from its key feature, periodicity—I may easily follow the trends of element properties as I go down the Group. And that they will make qualitative and semi-quantitative sense (while relativistic effects may be blamed for small deviations seen for the heaviest elements). And as a computational chemist, I value clear separation of elements with s, and p shells being systematically occupied by electrons. In this way also the Lewis’s doublet (for H<sup>−</sup>, He, Li<sup>+</sup>, etc.) (Lewis <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 1916" title="Lewis, G.N.: The atom and the molecule.

I do not share the reviewer’s feeling of unreality about the debate where to put He is such sense that this debate may be simplified to a question: which organizational paper tool is more practical and helps us to more emphasize similarities? This author claims simply that more essential similarities are better revealed by placement of He in Group 2.

But this does not change the attitude of most chemists towards ions – since you cannot isolate 1 mol of them in the bottle, they are not compounds. They are molecules, but not compounds. The ArH+ cation has been flying around for 100 years in the chambers of the mass spectrometers, as it is very stable.

This paper also contains mentions to a valuable philosophical work by Scerri (Scerri <a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 2005b" title="Scerri, E.: Some aspects of the metaphysics of chemistry and the nature of the elements.
