The following electron configuration should represent a ground state atom of carbon. What is the error in this configuration? 1L 1s 1L 2s 1|1 2p It violates Hund's rule because it pairs electrons in the 2px orbital of the 2p subshell before placing one electron in the 2py and 2pz orbitals. It violates Hund's rule because it does not show unpaired valence electrons with the same spin. It violates Aufbau's order of filling by placing electrons in the 2p subshell before the 2s subshell is full. There is no violation. It violates Pauli exclusion principle by placing two electrons with the same spin magnetic quantum number in an orbital. All paired electrons have opposite spin. There is something off with the paired electrons in the 2px orbital, though.
