This is a new interpretation of the periodic system of the elements. The factor 4 in the formula 4*n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 plays a significant role, since it designates the degeneracy of electronic states in this system. Closed shells with more than 120 electrons are not expected to exist. - Karl-Dietrich Neubert (kdn(AT)neubert.net) %D A002492 N. J. A.
