Which consequence results when electron occupancy violates Hund's rule within a paramagnetic complex?

💡 Explanation

Reduced spin multiplicity occurs because filling orbitals to maximize unpaired electrons (Hund’s rule) wasn't followed; therefore, the total spin magnetic moment is reduced, rather than spin-orbit coupling increasing, which needs heavier elements or enforced orbital mixing.
