minus-squaremexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·1 month agoTf guys i count 47 which is way above 31&33. How are you guys counting?

minus-squareTempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-21 month agoIt’s been over 20 years, but why is 5s1 4d10 a correct representation and not 5s2 4d9? Edit: is it because d10 is more stable than d9? But then s1 is less stable than s2.
minus-squaremexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 month agoHalf and full filled configurations are more stable. s1 is still half filled and d10 is full filled. The net effect it better stability even if s became a little less stable
minus-squarefrank@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoYou’re right, according to online calcs. But man I can’t remember how to count these myself. Wanna explain for someone who didn’t have to do much chemistry?
