Hund's rule states that single electrons with the same spin must occupy each equal-energy orbital before additional electrons with opposite spins can occupy the same orbital.
Hund's rule states that electrons will fill the lowest energy orbitals first before moving to higher energy orbitals.
Hund's rule states that all electrons in an atom must have opposite spins.
Hund's rule states that electrons will pair up in an orbital before occupying a new one.

What is the difference between an atom's ground state and excited state?
The ground state has higher energy than the excited state.
The ground state is the lowest energy configuration of an atom, while the excited state has higher energy due to electrons being promoted to higher orbitals.
The ground state and excited state are the same in terms of energy.
The excited state is the lowest energy configuration of an atom, while the ground state has higher energy.

What is the significance of the valence shell in chemical bonding?
It determines the color of the element.
It contains the valence electrons that are involved in chemical bonding, determining an element's reactivity.
It is the innermost shell of an atom.
It is responsible for the mass of the atom.

How does the periodic table relate to electron configuration?
The periodic table is organized in a way that reflects the electron configurations of elements, with similar configurations found in the same groups.
The periodic table is arranged randomly without any relation to electron configurations.
The periodic table only includes elements with complete electron shells.
The periodic table is based solely on atomic mass, ignoring electron configurations.
