  Total electronic correlation correction to the binding energies of the
isoelectronic series of Beryllium, Neon, Magnesium and Argon, are calculated in
the framework of relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method. Convergence
of the correlation energies is studied as the active set of orbitals is
increased. The Breit interaction is treated fully self-consistently. The final
results can be used in the accurately determination of atomic masses from
highly charged ions data obtained in Penning-trap experiments.
