Abstract: In this study, we have looked the periodic table from
the Barut’s point of view and discussed the deviations from the Madelung
rule. Expected, observed and computed total energies (Hartree-Fock and
Gaussian) are given for two different (one for expected and the other
one is observed) configurations of the Cr atom. The data shows that
preferred electronic configuration for the Cr is
4s13d5 not
4s23d4 as dictated by the Madelung
rule. This event may be due to the spin correlation effect which is
closely related to the Hund’s rule.
Keywords: Baruton, Madelung rule, spin correlation.
