Question
**Orbital Energy Diagram for Aluminum**

The image shows an exercise asking to fill in the orbital energy diagram for aluminum. The diagram represents the relative energy levels in an atom and consists of the following orbitals, each with designated slots to fill electrons:

1. **1s Orbital:**
   - Contains 1 box (pair of slots) with two electrons.
   - Electrons are represented with arrows indicating opposite spins.

2. **2s Orbital:**
   - Contains 1 box with two electrons.

3. **2p Orbital:**
   - Contains 3 degenerate boxes with six electrons (two in each box).

4. **3s Orbital:**
   - Contains 1 box with two electrons. 

5. **3p Orbital:**
   - Contains 3 degenerate boxes with one electron.

An arrow labeled "E" vertically indicates increasing energy as it moves upwards from the 1s to 3p orbitals. Each box corresponds to an atomic orbital where electrons are filled according to their energy levels, following Hund's rule and the Pauli exclusion principle.

**User Interface Descriptions:**
- **Buttons:**
  - "Submit Answer": To submit the filled diagram for evaluation.
  - "Try Another Version": Allows attempts with different diagram versions.
  - "10 item attempts remaining": Indicates the remaining attempts for this exercise. 

This exercise is designed to test understanding of electron configuration and energy levels in the context of general chemistry.
