Orbital Ordering

Postby 205696343 » Sat Oct 16, 2021 10:32 am

Will orbital ordering be different in different atoms (not the typical s, p, d, f order) or does it only differ for the two prevalent exceptions (copper and chromium)?

Orbital ordering will normally follow the s, p, d, f states unless it is in an excited state or with the copper and chromium exceptions.

Hi,
I believe the ordering will remain the same and follow the s,p,d,f order except for the exceptions of copper and chromium.

Typically, the orbitals are ordered by the lowest energy first so it would follow the s, p, d, f order, unless, as mentioned, for copper and chromium.

Copper and Chromium are the two exceptions everything else follows the usual rules.
