  2. Pigeonhole principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeonhole_principle

    The pigeonholes will be labeled by the two element subsets {1,9}, {2,8}, {3,7}, {4,6} and the singleton {5}, five pigeonholes in all. When the six "pigeons" (elements of the size six subset) are placed into these pigeonholes, each pigeon going into the pigeonhole that has it contained in its label, at least one of the pigeonholes labeled with a ...

    For example, in copper 29 Cu, according to the Madelung rule, the 4s subshell (n + l = 4 + 0 = 4) is occupied before the 3d subshell (n + l = 3 + 2 = 5). The rule then predicts the electron configuration 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 3d 9 4s 2, abbreviated [Ar] 3d 9 4s 2 where [Ar] denotes the configuration of argon, the preceding noble gas.

  4. Generating set of a group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generating_set_of_a_group

    Infinite groups can also have finite generating sets. The additive group of integers has 1 as a generating set. The element 2 is not a generating set, as the odd numbers will be missing. The two-element subset {3, 5} is a generating set, since (−5) + 3 + 3 = 1 (in fact, any pair of coprime numbers is, as a consequence of Bézout's identity).

  5. Extended periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_periodic_table

    The configurations of the elements in this table are written starting with [Og] because oganesson is expected to be the last prior element with a closed-shell (inert gas) configuration, 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 3d 10 4s 2 4p 6 4d 10 4f 14 5s 2 5p 6 5d 10 5f 14 6s 2 6p 6 6d 10 7s 2 7p 6. Similarly, the [172] in the configurations for elements ...

  6. Set (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(mathematics)

    A set of polygons in an Euler diagram This set equals the one depicted above since both have the very same elements.. In mathematics, a set is a collection of different [1] things; [2] [3] [4] these things are called elements or members of the set and are typically mathematical objects of any kind: numbers, symbols, points in space, lines, other geometrical shapes, variables, or even other ...

  7. Union (set theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_(set_theory)

    As another example, the number 9 is not contained in the union of the set of prime numbers {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ...} and the set of even numbers {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...}, because 9 is neither prime nor even. Sets cannot have duplicate elements, [3] [4] so the union of the sets {1, 2, 3} and {2, 3

  8. Element (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element_(mathematics)

    The number of elements in a particular set is a property known as cardinality; informally, this is the size of a set. [5] In the above examples, the cardinality of the set A is 4, while the cardinality of set B and set C are both 3.

    Oxygen (1s 2 2s 2 2p 4), fluorine (1s 2 2s 2 2p 5), and neon (1s 2 2s 2 2p 6) then complete the already singly filled 2p orbitals; the last of these fills the second shell completely. [39] [58] Starting from element 11, sodium, the second shell is full, making the second shell a core shell for this and all heavier elements.
