  1. Hunds Rule

    Linked via "angular momentum quantum number"

    Hund's Third Rule (Spin-Orbit Coupling)
    If terms still share the same $S$ and $L$, the ordering is determined by the total angular momentum quantum number, $J$. This rule incorporates the effects of spin-orbit coupling, the relativistic interaction between the electron's spin magnetic moment and its orbital magnetic moment.
    The rule specifies that:
