Landau and Lifshitz suggested in the third volume of the ''Course of Theoretical Physics'' that the then-standard periodic table had a mistake in it, and that [[lutetium]] should be regarded as a d-block rather than an f-block element. Their suggestion was fully vindicated by later findings,<ref name="Wittig">{{cite book |last=Wittig |first=Jörg |editor=H. J.
