A HE4 nucleus is composed of two protons and two neutrons, not two electrons, they are in Bohr Radius orbit in a n=1, l=1, m=1 and s=+1/2 and -1/2, making a 3 pair boson arrangement. To wit, 1F+1F=1B or 1/2+1/2=1 in spin dynamics. This is why the HE4 atom has the highest ionization potential(13.6ev)and is the most stable of all elements. Understanding this, do you know why HE3 is different from HE4 as a super fluid? Also, can you interpret t=dKE?

Yep. I corrected my typo in a later post. It's amazing how one can type the word "electron" but be thinking "neutron".

THe 1st IP of He is ~24.5eV. The 2nd is ~54. 13.6 refers to H. He is stable, because it has a full shell. The effect of nuclear mass and spin is on the order of ~0.02%.

3He3 is a Fermion. 4He is a boson. Boson condensates are super fluid.

"t=dKE?"

This indicates c=Hbar=1 and deltat=deltaEkinetic
