…of the CFSE and the pairing energy, which is the energy required to accommodate two electrons in one orbital. When the pairing energy is high compared with the CFSE, the lowest-energy electron configuration is achieved with as many electrons as possible in different orbitals. The arrangement of a d⁵ ion,…
