What if electron spin was 5/2? How would that affect the first three noble gases (He,Ne, Ar)? How would that affect the periodic table?

Please I need an answer, pic unrelated.

fundamental higher spins are problematic

It's a question asked in Introduction to Modern Physics lesson. I know it is stupid, but i can't find any answers. So theoreticaly, what would happen to the noble gases if spin was 5/2 instead of 1/2? I guess that we could have more electros in each

ah okay, then the questions probably refers to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hund%27s_rules
and you have your "answer".

however, electrons having different spin would fuck up the rest of the univers - the consequences wouldn't just turn up when it comes to chemisty
