    For instance, the magic number 8 occurs when the 1s 1/2, 1p 3/2, 1p 1/2 energy levels are filled, as there is a large energy gap between the 1p 1/2 and the next highest 1d 5/2 energy levels. The atomic analog to nuclear magic numbers are those numbers of electrons leading to discontinuities in the ionization energy.

    The numbers of nucleons for which shells are filled are called magic numbers. Magic numbers of 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and 126 have been observed for neutrons, and the next number is predicted to be 184.

    Magic numbers become particularly confusing when the same number is used for different purposes in one section of code. It is easier to alter the value of the number, as it is not duplicated. Changing the value of a magic number is error-prone, because the same value is often used several times in different places within a program. [6]
