Abstract

We propose a more general wording for Madelung rule using a new descriptor based on the four quantum numbers n, ℓ, mℓ, ms of the most recently added electron notes K(ZX). By this formulation, K(ZX) will increment as the atomic number Z increases. No exceptions will remain. It can be connected to the first ionization energy.
