However there are numerous exceptions; for example the lightest exception is chromium, which would be predicted to have the configuration 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 3d 4 4s 2, written as [Ar] 3d 4 4s 2, but whose actual configuration given in the table below is [Ar] 3d 5 4s 1.

An HID connected to a gas chromatograph (GC) has the great advantage to use helium as both the carrier gas and the ionization gas. An HID is an ion detector which uses a radioactive source, typically β-emitters, to create metastable helium species. [1] The radioactive source ionizes helium atoms by bombarding them with emissions.
For example, the electron configuration of the neon atom is 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6, meaning that the 1s, 2s, and 2p subshells are occupied by two, two, and six electrons, respectively. Electronic configurations describe each electron as moving independently in an orbital , in an average field created by the nuclei and all the other electrons.
Helium is used as a tracer because it penetrates small leaks rapidly. Helium also has the properties of being non-toxic, chemically inert and present in the atmosphere only in minute quantities (5 ppm). Typically a helium leak detector will be used to measure leaks in the range of 10 −5 to 10 −12 Pa·m 3 ·s −1.
In Earth's atmosphere, the ratio of 3 He to 4 He is 1.343(13) × 10 −6. [5] However, the isotopic abundance of helium varies greatly depending on its origin. In the Local Interstellar Cloud , the proportion of 3 He to 4 He is 1.62(29) × 10 −4 , [ 6 ] which is ~121 times higher than in Earth's atmosphere.
Additional helium atoms can attach to HeH + to form larger clusters such as He 2 H +, He 3 H +, He 4 H +, He 5 H + and He 6 H +. [22] The dihelium hydride cation, He 2 H +, is formed by the reaction of dihelium cation with molecular hydrogen: He + 2 + H 2 → He 2 H + + H. It is a linear ion with hydrogen in the centre. [22] The hexahelium ...
