Two electrons in the same atom both have n = 6 and ℓ = 2. Assume the electrons are distinguishable so that interchanging them defines a new state.

(a) How many states of the atom are possible considering the quantum numbers these two electrons can have?

(b) How many states would be possible if the exclusion principle were inoperative?

Both cyclopentadiene and cyclopentadienyl nion have same valence electrons and same 5-membered Carbon ring structure. However, cyclopentadiene adopts "envelope" shape with C on right tilted out of the plane of 4 Carbon atoms. The anion adopts flat structure. Further, the anion is far more stable chemically than cyclopentadiene. Speculate why this is so. Answer should consider both hybridization and resonance.
