electronicstate
electronicstate refers to the configuration of electrons within an atom, molecule, or solid material. This configuration dictates many of the material's physical and chemical properties, including its electrical conductivity, optical behavior, and reactivity. The arrangement of electrons is governed by quantum mechanics, specifically the Pauli exclusion principle and Hund's rules, which determine how electrons occupy available energy levels or orbitals.
In atoms, the electronic state is described by quantum numbers. For molecules, it involves molecular orbitals
