Response to Misapplying the Periodic Law

摘要

My commentary titled "Lanthanum (La) and Actinium (Ac)Should Remain in the d-Block" (1) was intended to make clear tothose who cite Jensen (2) that placing lanthanum and actinium inthe f-block is not majority accepted or without problems. Hope-fully, this answers Jensen's question as to why I wrote this com-mentary. Also, my "commentary" was submitted and treated asa reviewed article with four reviewers selected by thisJournal, ofwhich three recommended publication as is. However it was thisJournal's editorial decision to publish the article as a commentary.Unfortunately, critics of my commentary are now under the im-pression that it was not peer reviewed and therefore incorrectlyassume or imply that its contents are my opinion only.
