Nov 26, 2019 at 18:43 comment added user238497 @EmilioPisanty My highschool chemistry textbook states that the stability of half/fully filled orbital arises due to the concept of exchange energy (though it does not go deep into the topic, also I have very basic knowledge of QM so can't say much about it). If you wanna have a look then check this link on page no. 61. Note that the link contains a PDF.

Nov 26, 2019 at 17:52 comment added Emilio Pisanty @Rama Not particularly - this is old-fashioned screening, and the bulk of the physics and its intuition comes from the direct interaction without invoking anything as fancy as exchange. Or can you provide relevant literature that shows that the higher stability is indeed impossible to model unless exchange is accounted for?
