Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.15E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An explanation as to how the Hund’s rule in which the distribution of one electron to the available degenerate orbital before pairing is consistent with the Hund’s rule stating that the ground state has the highest multiplicity is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The Hund’s rule in general chemistry states that if two or more orbitals having the same energy are available, then the electron occupies them all before pairing up. Another version of Hund’s rule states that the ground state has the highest multiplicity
