Is there any energy difference b/w two electrons of the same orbital having anti parallel spin?
Energy for an electron in an orbital
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
There is no energy difference between two electrons occupying the same orbital with anti-parallel spins in the absence of an external magnetic field. However, the presence of an external magnetic field introduces energy differences due to the Zeeman effect, specifically the "anomalous" Zeeman effect, which affects the energy levels of the electrons based on their spin orientation.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of quantum mechanics principles
