Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.what does this line mean?
also, i'd appreciate it if someone could simplify this exchange energy concept for me
Go to chemical bonding in 11th NCERT. Green box at the end of the chapter.
oke
did you mean atomic structure
Ok wait yeah
Atomic structure
why would a d(6,7,8 or 9) orbital have less exchange energy than a d5 orbital
i'd think more parallel spin electrons meant more exchange energy
well this is in bsc man in detail.
the short version is -
anything at the microscale has to do with probability
so, if something has more states in which it can exist in, higher is its stability.
This is how statistical thermodynamics works, and is also the basis of entropy and microstates.
I am going to stop here, you can read up more on this online, but since the 5 electrons are equivalent and can exchange each others position, it makes them more stable, similarly with 10.
very crude explanation, I know :D
read what I wrote above :)
all electrons are not equivalent, 8 and 9 would have some paired, some unpaired.

More details if you want (goes into quantum mechanics)

What is the “exchange energy of electrons”?
First, do not try to give me the perplexing explanations involving higher QM. I am new to QM, so please give a gentle explanation.
Now, my textbook see page 36 states that electrons of degenerate
oh damn ok
i love this person going "gentle explanation pls 🙏" twice such a mood
yeah this would require me to go into a lot of detail
but its quite interesting
thankyou :)
