Octet Rule and Space

Authors: Ilgaitis Prūsis, Peteris Prūsis

In contemporary physics and chemistry Octet rule states that an atomic shell is complete if it has eight electrons. It follows that there are eight basic groups in the periodic table of elements. Attempts to explain why there are exactly 8 groups are unsuccessful. The paper shows that it is determined by the structure of the atomic nucleus. There is a 4-dimensional space in the nucleus of an atom. It follows that a nuclear shell can contain 8 protons according to the Pauli principle. This corresponds to 8 groups in the periodic table. The atom is located in a 3-dimensional space. Therefore, the outer shell (8 electrons) may have 2 subshells p (6 electrons) and s (2 electrons).
