Abstract
A systematic method for determining molecular term symbols for diatomic molecules using uncoupled states orbital diagrams is described. Using this method, molecular terms symbols for a particular molecular orbital electron configuration are determined from the possible combinations of quantum numbers of the individual electrons. Two examples are included to illustrate the method,

Why the Lower-Energy Term of Singlet Dioxygen Has a Doubly Occupied π* Orbital
Terry S. CarltonJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (3), 477Why the Lower-Energy Term of Singlet Dioxygen Has a Doubly Occupied π* Orbital
Terry S. CarltonJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (3), 477The singlet term of dioxygen with one doubly occupied π* orbital has lower energy than the singlet term with two singly occupied π* orbitals even though single occupancy is favored in the aufbau of atoms. A simple physical explanation based on orbital ...
