What does Hund's rule state?
An orbital can contain two electrons only if the electrons have opposite spins.
An orbital can contain two electrons only if all other orbitals at that sublevel are empty.
An orbital can contain two electrons only if the electrons have different energy levels.

Group 1A
Group 2A

Why do electrons enter the 4s orbital before entering the 3d orbital?
because the 3d orbital is at a lower energy level
because both the 4s and 3d orbitals are at the same energy level
because the 4s orbital is at a lower energy level
because the 4s orbital is at a higher energy level

opposite spin of two electrons
different principal energy levels of two electrons
distances of two electrons from the nucleus
attraction between two electrons
According to the Pauli exclusion principle, when can two electrons occupy the same orbital?
only if there is no place else to put them
only if they have the same spin
only if they have opposite spins
only if they are alike in all their properties
