Talk:Periodic table block

Electron shell, Orbitals, Atomic orbital, Electron configuration and possibly periodic table block should all be merged into a single article, preferably by someone who knows what they are talking about. The Anome

Half of f-block seems to actually be d-block

Curium, for example, is [Rn] 5f7 6d1 7s2. 6d is a higher energy level than 5f, so wouldn't that make Curium, and many others, a d-block element? --Lucent 03:05, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Successive block sizes

Note that each successive block size is 4 elements larger than the previous block and that in the Janet Periodic table there are 2 each of each successive block. Thus, the blocks go:

S1 = 2 S2 = 2 P1 = 6 P2 = 6 D1 = 10 D2 = 10 F1 = 14 F2 = 14 with the remainder of each level in the table being filled with elements in the locations of all the previous blocks. Thus the number of elements in each table level becomes:

L1 = 2 L2 = 2 L3 = 8 L4 = 8 L5 = 18 L6 = 18 L7 = 32 L8 = 32 The implication of this is that the atom's nucleon accumulation process involves the successive accuummulation of 4 additional nucleons into every 2nd series of elemental additions to the atomic structure.WFPM (talk) 13:46, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Displayed Extended Periodic Table

Note that in both the displayed Extended and the Janet tables, the first thing that happens after the creation of the 4Be8 Beryllium nucleus is for the accumulation process to finish an accumulation of the deuterons needed for the 6 additional elements up to 10Ne20 Neon, and after that to then to accumulate the nuclei of the elements 11Na22 and 12Mg24. This requires that the third alpha particle nucleus be reconfigured from its alpha particle configuration to some other configuration such as to bond with the previously two accumulated alpha particles.WFPM (talk) 18:53, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

However, as an alternative to the Triple-alpha process proposed by Hans Bethe to explain the creation of the Carbon nucleus, you might consider, as I have, as to the possibility for the double-alpha particle to have successively captured 2 deuteron particles as a means of creating the Carbon nucleus, which is consistent with the indication of the 2 periodic tables, as well as with the reported existence of a quantity of 5Be Beryllium atoms, as is reported in the Nucleosynthesis article.WFPM (talk) 03:14, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
