Abstract A new periodic system of the elements (PSE) is proposed which exhibits symmetry properties not apparent in the conventional arrangement of the elements. By discussing the solutions of the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation for the Coulomb problem it is shown that the PSE might be based on the filling of only four Coulomb shells as compared to the partial filling of up to eight shells in the conventional classification. On the other hand, the multiplicity of the states in the PSE appears to be four as compared to two due to spin in the hydrogen spectrum. A transformation of the PSE-spectrum into the hydrogen spectrum is possible by a rotation in quantum number space.
