1s $$^2$$ 2s $$^2$$ 2p $$^6$$ 3s $$^1$$ 3p $$^5$$

According to Hund's rule, how will the three 2p orbitals be filled with three electrons?

Each electron will occupy separate orbitals with parallel spins.

All three electrons will pair up in one orbital.

Two electrons will pair up in one orbital, and the third will occupy a separate orbital.

Electrons will fill the lowest energy orbital available first.

What is the significance of the Pauli Exclusion Principle in electron configuration?

It states that no two electrons can have the same set of four quantum numbers.

It dictates the maximum number of electrons in an atom.

It describes the sequence in which orbitals are filled.

It determines the spin of electrons in an orbital.

How does the electron configuration of ions differ from that of neutral atoms?

Ions gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Ions have more protons than neutral atoms.

Ions have an incomplete outer shell.

Ions do not follow the Aufbau principle.

What is the purpose of the Aufbau diagram?

To depict the order in which orbitals are filled

To show the physical structure of an atom

To illustrate the spin of electrons

To represent chemical bonding between atoms
