34. For spatial configurations with four open-shell electrons, there are two distinct singlet spin eigenfunctions, three triplet eigenfunctions, and one quintet eigenfunction; thus, the singlet and triplet weights shown are a sum over all configurations with identical orbital occupations, but different spin couplings.
