N 2. Lowest-energy configuration. First two excited configurations. All shells fully occupied (N2): 1 S g + (...) : P g state (multiplicity, see later) (...) : is similar to hole

spin part spatial part Two electrons are located in 2 different MO shells: both singlet and triplet states exist Two electrons are located in same MO shell and same spatial orbital: only singlet state 3. Two electrons are located in same MO shell but different spatial orbitals: e.g. O2, most stable configuration L = l1+l2 = 0 Symmetric spatial part Antisymmetric spin part = singlet Antisym. spatial part Symmetric spin part = triplet
S+ or S- ? f1
e.g: ortho-H2 (I=1, Ns=3) para-H2 (I=0, Na=1)
