In the absence of the exchange energy, the degeneracy between 1s¹2s¹ and 1s¹2p¹ configurations would only be lifted by
relativistic corrections.
For a given configuration and L the exchange energy favours (ie the energy is lower for) S-1 compared with S=0
O
For a given configuration and L the exchange energy favours states that are spatially anti-symmetric
The exchange energy gives larger shifts in the levels than relativistic corrections
L, S remain good quantum numbers in the presence of the exchange energy
