11. 28-2-2016  11 Electron configurations Pauli exclusion principle: Hund’s rule: “An atom in its ground state adopts a configuration with the greatest number of unpaired electrons” “No more than 2 electrons may occupy any given orbital. If 2 electrons occupy one orbital, then their spin must be paired (antiparallel:  ).”

12. 28-2-2016  12 Spin correlation two electrons with different spin (antiparallel) have a certain probability to be at the same position.  The electrostatic repulsion is increased: the system in its singlet state is destabilized when 2 electrons in 2 different orbitals have the same spin (parallel), they are repelled to each other thanks to their spin.  that prevents an additional electrostatic repulsion. The Triplet state (2 spins parallel) is more stable than the singlet state (2 spins antiparallel) this is the explanation for Hund’s rule.
