According to Hund's rule, electrons fill equal-energy orbitals by:

Answer: Occupying singly first.

  • A Pairing first
  • B Occupying singly first
  • C Skipping lower orbitals
  • D Entering nucleus

Correct answer: B. Occupying singly first

Explanation: Hund's rule says electrons occupy degenerate orbitals singly with parallel spins before pairing.

NK (n=1)L (n=2)M (n=3)

Bohr's model: electrons occupy fixed circular shells (K, L, M) around the nucleus, with each shell holding up to 2n2 electrons.

Concept context

Explore how electrons are arranged inside an atom. Covers Bohr's model, quantum numbers, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, shapes of s, p, d orbitals, and electronic configuration rules.
