A199426 Janet helicoidal classification of the periodic table.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 9, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 17, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 31, 32, 33, 36, 35, 34, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 48, 47, 46, 45, 44, 49, 50, 51, 54, 53, 52, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 70, 69, 68, 67, 66, 65, 64

A permutation of the natural numbers up to 120 (Janet table; in OEIS Wiki, Periodic table). Or more (extension).

Janet explicitly published his table in reference (1), leaflet 7. This was a consequence of his helicoidal classification of the periodic table created with four tangential increasing cylinders on which the numbers are written (2), leaflet 3, (for the first 3 cylinders):

(A) 25 26 43 44

24 27 42 45

7 8 15 16 23 28 33 34 41 46 51 52

6 9 14 17 22 29 32 35 40 47 50 53

1 2 3 4 5 10 11 12 13 18 19 20 21 30 31 36 37 38 39 48 49 54 55 56.

A boustrophedon path is used. 1 increases, 2 decreases.

a(n) is the vertical terms taken from bottom to top.

By 2 consecutive verticals the numbers of the terms are 2,2,6,2,6,2,10,6,2,... = A167268.

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..70.

Formula

A167268/2 = 1,1,3,1,3,1,5,3,1,5,3,1,... = b(n). b(n) repeated is every term of A167268 shared in 2 equal parts: 1,1,1,1,3,3,1,1,5,5,3,3,1,1,... = c(n), distribution of verticals of (A).

a(n) is created by mixed increasing 1, 3, 5,6,7, 11, 13,14,15, via b(n) (or both via c(n))

and 2, 4, 10,9,8, 12, 18,17,16, (separately decreasing from right to left for 2, 4, 8,9,10, 11, 16,17,18).
