Hund's rule states that an orbital can contain two electrons only if they have opposite spins. This rule was named after the German physicist Friedrich Hund.

What did hunds rule state that the electrons pair up only after each orbital in a sub-level is occupied by?

one electron


According to Hunds' rule when electrons occupy orbitals of equal energy one electron enters each orbit until?

All the orbitals contain one electron, with the same spins.


How many unpaired electrons are in sulfur?

The answer is two.Third shell of sulfur is occupied by 6 electrons:3s2 3px2 3py 3pzof which the first 4 electrons (in 3s2 3px2) are paired (superscipted 2 means 2electrons per sublevel)and the other 2 electrons are unpaired (3py 3pz, no superscript means 1 electron per sublevel).

What are the 3 main rules of the electron configuration?

Atoms can have as many electron shells as they need. The first electron shell can only contain 2 electrons but the rest can contain 8. Electron arrangement patterns down a group : the # of complete electrons shells increases by 1. The # of group is the same as the # of electrons in the outer shell. (ex. Group 2 there will be 2 electrons in the outer shell) Electron arrangement patterns across a period : the # of complete electron shells stays the same. The # of electrons increases by 1 each time. When a new period starts, that's when a new shell is added. Hope this was helpful :)


What is the maximum number of electrons in 3f?

3f can not exist by the Aufbau principle, quantum mechanics and Hunds rules. In level one there is only 1s In level 2 there is 2s and 2p In level 3 there is 3s, 3p and 3d Only in level 4 and beyond is there an f shell. In level 4 there is 4s, 4p, 4d and 4f. The 4f can hold up to 14 electrons.

What is spin quantum number?

Good question! Experiments show that the electron "behaves" as if it is a spinning ball of charge. But be careful...the electron IS NOT a spinning ball of charge. Instead the concept is quantum mechanical and has no actual classical analogy. why we r taking the spin of the electorn is +1/2 or -1/2 is there any relation bet rotational symmetry


What is a hunds rule?

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity describes the order in which electrons fill subshells. It states that they will add into degenerate(equal energy level) orbitals to create the greatest multitude of orbitals having an electron in them. Simply, this means that if you were filling the 2p subshell you would first put an electron in the 2px then 2py then 2pz THEN a second electron in 2px then a second in 2py then one in 2pz NOT 1 in 2px 2nd in 2px etc. The orbitals of a subshell must be occupied singly and with parallel spins before they occupy in pairs. Hund's rule states that greater total spin state usually makes the resulting atom more stable, most commonly manifested in a lower energy state, because it forces the unpaired electrons to reside in different spatial orbitals.


What is the difference between atoms and molecuels?

Atoms: Composed of a neutron and proton nucleus, which is surrounded by an electron cloud. Can only be seen with powerful microscopes. Composed of negatively charged electrons that surround a nucleus of positively charged protons and neutrons, who have no charge. Protons and neutrons of the atom's nucleus are bound by nuclear force. In turn, electrons are bound to the atom by electromagnetic force. Molecules: Composed of two or more atoms. Vary in size. Electrically neutral. Opposites attract, and the interaction between electrons and protons of separate atoms creates the chemical bonds that form molecules. Refer the link below too.


How could it be possible for electrons not to collapse into the nucleus?

To put it simply no an electron can never come out of the nucleus due to the nucleus only containing protons and neutrons. However protons and neutrons are not fundamental in the sense that they cannot be split. Protons and Neutrons, and indeed all hadrons (of which protons and neutrons belong), consist of quarks. Quarks come in two distinct groups, those with a positive charge of 2/3 the elemental change and those with negative 1/3 the elemental change. With six quarks in total each group has three members. A Proton consists of two up quarks and a down quark giving it a positive charge. The neutron consists of one up quark and two down quarks giving it a neutral charge. When an isotope is unstable due to having a ratio of neutrons to protons that is too high a process know as beta plus decay occurs. When an isotope undergoes beta plus decay, one of the down of the quarks in a neutron emits a W- boson, with results in the down quark changing into an up quark. The change turns the neutron into a proton consequently lowering the neutron to proton ration and sometimes forming a stable isotope. The W- boson meanwhile decays into an electron and an electron anti-neutrino.
