Can Hund's rule be applied in filling up of electrons in molecular orbitals? Illustrate your argument.
Answers
Answer:
According to Hund's rule, orbitals of the same energy are each filled with one electron before filling any with a second. Also, these first electrons have the same spin.
Explanation:
Answer:
According to Hund's rule, each orbital in subshell should be singly occupied before any other orbital is doubly occupied. The electrons in singly occupied orbital should have the same spin.
This Hund's rule is used in filling up of electrons in orbitals and the same rule can be used in filling up of electrons in molecular orbitals.
Molecular Orbital describes the wave like function of electron in a molecule. Molecular orbitals are constructed using atomic orbitals from each atom of molecule.
In a molecular orbital,after each molecular orbital is singly filled with electrons, then the remaining electrons should follow Hund,s rule to fill in the other molecular orbitals.
