Hello All,
I'm a physics major and trying to figure out how "full" electronic shells are determined. It really reduces to the question why isn't Beryllium a noble gas?
If an angular momentum subshells are what matters then the shells are:
[tex] 1S^2 2S^2 [/tex].
Clearly the [tex]2S[/tex] subshell is full, yet this isn't considered a noble gas.
Why??
Thanks a lot for any help.
