The order of increasing energy is: 1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s < 4d < 5p < 6s < 4f < 5d < 6p < 7s < 5f < 6d < ...

Each subshell is uniquely specified by a combination of the principal quantum number ( n) and the azimuthal quantum number ( l ). The magnetic quantum number ( ml) then specifies the individual ...

Physicists have filled in some longtime blank spaces on the periodic table, calculating electron affinities of the lanthanides, a series of 15 elements known as rare earths. Physicists at Michigan ...

Unusual filling of different sub-shells due to quantum confinement leads to a stable superatom that is also highly magnetic Industry uses magnetic materials in applications ranging from data storage ...
