Actinide concept

Actinide concept

The actinide concept in nuclear chemistry was first theorized by Glenn T. Seaborg in 1944, resulting in the correction of Dmitri Mendeleev's periodic table of the elements by placing a new actinide series below the lanthanide series. In later theoretical work, Seaborg proposed the transactinide series spanning elements 104-121 and the superactinide series containing elements 122-153.
