When filling two or more orbitals of the same energy with electrons, the electrons will go into different orbitals rather than pair up in the same orbital.

Orbitals

Mathematical equations that represent the wave-like properties of electrons within an atom.

Electrons

Subatomic particles with a negative electric charge, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids.

  • Describe the guiding principles for electron arrangements and the process of orbital filling, including the aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund's rule.
