minus-squaremexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·2 days agoTf guys i count 47 which is way above 31&33. How are you guys counting?

minus-squareTempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-21 day 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 day 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
