Interpretation:
Hund’s rule has to be defined. Also, two unpaired electrons present in the carbon and oxygen atom has to be explained through this rule.
Concept Introduction:
Erwin Schrödinger gave a model to describe the behavior of an electron in atoms through a wave function. The wave function is defined as a mathematical function for an electron wave that gives the amplitude of the wave at any point in space. It is represented by a Greek letter
