Other sets in sidebar

I am proposing that the "Other sets" section of the sidebar be subdivided up as shown at {{Sidebar periodic table/sandbox}}. The current layout {{Sidebar periodic table}} is visible in the documentation below my proposal. Comments? — YBG (talk) 23:53, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did you consider grouping all of the periodic chart categories together? The "... periodic table position" could be "Named groups", "Other groups" or "Other named groups" under "By periodic table structure". Johnjbarton (talk) 01:43, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That’s a good idea, and no, I didn’t consider it. The three categories under periodic table structure are each currently mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive, so moving this section would be a little tricky, but probably doable. I’ll have a go at it. YBG (talk) 02:52, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnjbarton What do you think of it now? YBG (talk) 03:03, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me! Johnjbarton (talk) 03:13, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JJB: Under Other sets, named for ... we have:

... element uses
Coinage, precious, and refractory metals

... element properties
Heavy and light metals * Noble metals

But I’m wondering if that last would be better:

... element properties
Heavy, light and noble metals

Thoughts?? YBG (talk) 04:29, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also good. Johnjbarton (talk) 16:15, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revisiting decay energy for isotope lists

A while ago I posted a discussion suggesting that decay energy be added to the tables on "Isotopes of [element]" articles. The discussion never really got to a consensus. I though I might bring it up again because this site lists, as far as I can tell, all known isotopes and decay energies for most decay modes. The one exception is it does not appear to list the energies for cluster decay. Thoughts? TornadoLGS (talk) 19:29, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pulse Radiolysis Studies for Oxidation states

I was looking over some of the old references, and noticed some oxidation states have been stated by observation from pulse radiolysis studies, such as

Kläning, Ulrik K.; Sehested, K. (1986). "Selenium(V). A pulse radiolysis study". Inorganic Chemistry. 90 (21): 5460–4. doi:10.1021/j100412a112.

Should these be included in the list of oxidation states? Keres🌕Luna ^edits! 03:02, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
