Given an electron configuration such as 1s2 2s2 2px2 2py1
(My apologies for not knowing how to insert subscripts and superscripts.)
This electron configuration is in violation of Hund’s Rule.
Is such a configuration “forbidden” and therefore impossible?
If it is possible for this configuration to exist as an “excited state,” i. e., a 2pz electron pairing up with the 2px electron, is there any physical evidence for its existence?
