Singlet and triplet helium We obtain mathematical explanation to the
shielding and Hund’s rule (spin correlation or Pauli exclusion principle) as they apply to the singlet and triplet states of the helium atom.
We discuss spin angular momenta of these states and consider the spin multiplicity of a general atom.

Orbital approximation The orbital approximation: an approximate or
forced separation of variables
We must consider spin and anti-symmetry:
Antisymmetrizer that forms an antisymmetric linear combination of products
Spin variable
Normalization coefficient Orthonormal

Spin multiplicity S = 0: singlet (even number of electrons) S = ½ : doublet (odd) S = 1: triplet (even) S = 1½ : quartet (odd)
All radiative transitions between states with different spin multiplicities are forbidden.
Atoms with S > 0 are magnetic and highly degenerate.

Summary The expectation value of the Hamiltonian in
the normalized, antisymmetric wave function of the helium atom is a good approximation to its energy.
It mathematically explains the shielding and spin correlation effects.
Total spin angular momenta of the helium atom in the singlet and triplet states are obtained. The concept of the spin multiplicity is introduced.
