![ies, do not forget that each particle has twO
possible orientations of its spin.] (b) Assuming that
there are six particles in the box, draw an energy-level
diagram similar to Fig. 10.6(b), showing the distribu-
tion of particles that gives the state of lowest energy
for the system as a whole. (c) Do the same for the
case where there are ten particles in the box.
