What is the significance of the Aufbau principle in electron configuration?

Back

It states that electrons fill orbitals starting from the lowest energy level to the highest.

Back

Electrons will occupy degenerate orbitals singly before pairing up.

What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

Back

No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.
