Hund's RuleHund's rule is a principle of physical chemistry which states that before any two electrons occupy an orbital in a subshell, other orbitals in the same subshell must first each contain one electron. Also, the electrons filling a subshell will have parallel spin before the shell starts filling up with the opposite spin electrons (after the first orbital gains a second electron). In 2004, it was reported in PhysicsWeb (as cited in the "References" section) that researchers had synthesized the first organic molecule known to violate Hund's rule: 5-dehydro-m-xylylene (DMX).
