Which consequence results when electron pairing energy exceeds Hund's rule during orbital filling?

A)High-spin state is less likely
B)Increased paramagnetic susceptibility occurs
C)Maximum total spin is achieved
D)Orbital angular momentum maximizes

💡 Explanation

When electron pairing energy overpowers Hund's rule, spin pairing happens rather than single occupancy because the pairing energy penalty is less than maximizing spin multiplicity; therefore, lower spin states are favored rather than higher spin or maximized paramagnetic results.
