Periodicity and Some Graphical Insights on the Tendency toward Empty, Half-full, and Full Subshells.

Rich, Ronald L.; Suter, Robert W.

Journal of Chemical Education, v65 n8 p702-04 Aug 1988

Investigates ground state electron configurations for some common elements using graphical methods. Bases observed tendencies on following ideas: "occupancy of differing shells, occupancy of differing subshells within a given shell, double occupancy vs. single occupancy of an orbital, and quantum-mechanical exchange."
