Abstract
Energy differences between atomic terms belonging to the same configuration are analysed into their components, kinetic energy, nuclear attraction and interelectronic repulsion. The results are discussed from the point of view of the interpretation of Hund's rule. The main conclusion is that the energy differences between terms are essentialy determined by nuclear attraction differences, an obvious contradiction to the traditional interpretation of Hund's rule.
