State Hund\'s rule : State Hund\'s rule. Each electron goes into the lowest-ener

Question

State Hund's rule :

State Hund's rule. Each electron goes into the lowest-energy orbital available. Electrons orbiting and protons within the nucleus of the atom have a balanced charge, excluding attraction to charged species. An attraction between two electrons occurs due to vibrations in the crystal lattice. The lowest-energy electron configuration of an atom has the maximum number of unpaired electrons, all of which have the same spin, in degenerate orbitals. No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. We cannot determine both the position and the momentum of an electron in an atom at the same time.

Explanation / Answer

Hund's Rule:

The lowest energy electron configuration of an atom has maximum number of unpaired electrons, all of which have same spin, in the degenarate orbitals.
