contents We show that the angular momentum distribution of neutral atoms, in the sense of occupation numbers, follows the Thomas-Fermi angular momentum distribution in the limit of large atomic number. In particular, we show that the angular momentum distribution of large atoms deviates from the well-known Madelung rule.
