In a low density gas many possible energy levels of the electrons are open, but as the gas become denser all the lower energy levels are filled. The Pauli exclusion principle states that eac ...

P-nuclei
p-Nuclei (p stands for proton-rich) are certain proton-rich, naturally occurring isotopes of some elements between selenium and mercury which cannot be produced in either s- or r-process.
