Interpretation:
The possible ways by which the electrons in the outermost shell of
Concept introduction:
According to the Aufbau principle, the electrons are firstly filled into the orbitals having lower energy. The electrons are filled in the orbitals as,
Hund’s rule states that all the degenerate orbitals are firstly filled with one electron each and then paired. This rule favors unpaired electrons in the orbital.
