| May 23 at 12:55 | comment | added | SimoBartz | @paulina can you explain it in an answer? I don't understand | |
| May 23 at 12:52 | comment | added | SimoBartz | @BySymmetry indeed now I have the same question also for the spin | |
| May 23 at 12:18 | comment | added | paulina | forming a linear combination of states still only applies to one electron. the moment you consider two or more you get antisymmetric tensor products which will vanish if two states are the same, no matter for what reason. | |
| May 23 at 11:59 | comment | added | By Symmetry | I mean, you have already said what happens in the case of degeneracy due to spin. There is really no difference if there is degeneracy due to other factors | |
