Veli Pekka Pyykkö (born October 12, 1941)[1] is a Finnish academic. He is professor of Chemistry at the University of Helsinki.[1] From 2009–2012, he was the chairman of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science. He is known for his extension to the periodic table of elements,[2][3] known as the Pyykkö model.[4]
Pyykkö model
Pekka Pyykkö predicts that the orbital shells will fill up in this order:
- 8s,
- 5g,
- the first two spaces of 8p,
- 6f,
- 7d,
- 9s,
- the first two spaces of 9p,
- the rest of 8p.[5]
He also suggests that period 8 be split into three parts:
- 8a, containing 8s,
- 8b, containing the first two elements of 8p,
- 8c, containing 7d and the rest of 8p.[5]

The compact version:[5]
Pekka Pyykkö successfully predicted the possibility of a chemical bond between gold and the noble gas xenon, which is usually inert; this bond is known to occur in the cationic complex tetraxenonogold(II) (AuXe2+
4). He also successfully predicted the possibility of a gold–carbon triple bond.[6]
