Which mechanism causes paramagnetism when molecular oxygen transitions states?

💡 Explanation

Oxygen's paramagnetism depends on Hund's rule; unpaired electrons align spins, creating a magnetic moment, because of electron correlation. Therefore, Hund's rule prevails within filled sets, rather than the Pauli exclusion requiring varied spatial configurations.
