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