Suppose the electron were a spin particle obeying Fermi-Dirac statistics. Write the configuration of a hypothetical Ne

Question:

Suppose the electron were a spin particle obeying Fermi-Dirac statistics. Write the configuration of a hypothetical Ne (Z = 10) atom made up of such “electrons” [that is, the analog of (1s) 2 (2s)2 (2p)6]. Show that the configuration is highly degenerate. What is the ground state (the lowest term) of the hypothetical Ne atom in spectroscopic notation (2S + 1 LJ, where S, L, and J stand for the total spin, the total orbital angular momentum, and the total angular momentum, respectively) when exchange splitting and spin-orbit splitting are taken into account?
