They are a set of rules used to determine the proper ground state term symbol for a multi-electron atom.

Hund's rule is the rule of maximum multiplicity. it states that "every orbital in a subshell is singly filled by electrons before being doubly filled. "

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HUND' S RULE OF MAXIMUM MULTIPLICITY : Pairing of electrons in an orbital should not take place until all orbitals are singly occupied.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hund's rule means that we must go to pairing in degenerate orbitals like p,d,...only after each orbital is given with one electron

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HUND'S RULE = every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin.
