Biradicals
Biradicals are defined as molecules that have 2 unpaired electrons. However, why can't these two electrons just be paired together? Wouldn't the molecule want to have lower energy and be more stable?

Re: Biradicals
Hund's rule states that electrons will go to the lowest energy level by first filling out all degenerate orbitals once before forming pairs.
