Great explanation for the 3 states for the triplet. My take away is that, in the triplet state, although there is an instance of 2 non-parallel electrons, they are not paired. I assume that there'll be 2 degenerate non-parallel states which would result in this state producing a larger peak in a spectrum. I hope I'm on track with this haha.
around 4:30 the logic is flawed. If Ms can be -S,...,...+S, that does not imply S=0 if Ms = 0 ! For example, the superpositioned state up down + down up in a two spin 1/2 system has Ms = 0 but S=1 and therefore is a triplet, while up down - down up has Ms = 0 and S = 0 and is a singlet.
the full story is a bit more complicated homepage.univie.ac.at/reinhold.bertlmann/pdfs/T2_Skript_Ch_7.pdf, but it told qualitatively good in this video
Thanks for your comment! If you look at the textbook “Physical Chemistry” by Peter Atkins, or “Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach” by Donald McQuarrie, you should be able to see the details worked out. Both are excellent resources. McQuarrie delves into the fine details, whereas Atkins gives a wonderful overview of the important points. Good luck with your paper!

Awesome explanation 🎉🔥🔥
Would you be able to share with me the resources you used in this video, please? I need them for a research paper I'm writing. Thank you!
