Friedrich Hund (1896-1997) was a German physicist known for Hund's rules, which describe how electrons occupy orbitals in atoms.
Atomic structure
Hund's rules help predict the ordering of atomic term states and the arrangement of electron spins in partially filled shells. They are important in spectroscopy, chemistry, and the quantum description of many-electron atoms.
Hund also contributed to molecular orbital theory and early discussions of quantum tunneling in molecular systems.
