Electronic Configuration Pattern Found in Pascal's Triangle-JCE 1996 (73) 742 [Aug]

Link to Electronic Configuration Pattern

This site reveals the discovery of the Electronic Configuration Pattern within Pascal's Triangle. This is a mouse-over applet that displays the electronic configuration when the mouse is placed over elements of Pascal's Triangle. This discovery may lead to a better understanding of quantum theory.

Periodic Table of the Elements

The Periodic Table of the Elements (published in JCE) describes a unique representation of the Periodic Table placing the semimetals in a vertical column, thus separating the metals from the nonmetals. Notice the impressive symmetry of the elements.

The Geometry of the Nuclear Atom

The is a link to an interactive online paper that contains vrml files. A plug-in such as Cortona 3D or Cosmos Player is needed which can be downloaded from the internet. This is essential for fully grasping the construction of atoms and bond sites. Also, note that at this time Mozilla Firefox is the preferred browser. The paper describes a very unique way of modeling the outer shell of the periodic atoms. Explored are the hydrogen atom and the carbon atom depicting single, double, and triple bonds. Bond length determinations for selected organic compounds are given to demonstrate the predictive power of this theory.
