I am a little unclear on why in atomic physics that the total orbital momentum terms have to be specifically singlet or triplet states, for example
G -Singlet
F -Triplet
D -Singlet
P -Triplet
S -Singlet
I think it has to do with the pauli exclusion principle but don't really understand the process.
If someone could walk me through why that would be great! (edit: 2 electron case)
