Consider Fe 2+ in an octahedral site<br />

⇒Three lower energy orbitals (groundstate)<br />

⇒Two higher energy orbitals<br />

Fe 2+ ⇒ six d-electrons<br />

Electrons have a spin orientation (spin up, spin<br />

down)<br />

Pauli Exclusion Principle<br />

Only two electrons (with opposite spins) can<br />

occupy any individual orbital<br />

First five electrons each occupy one of the five<br />

d-orbitals
