Rules for Electronic Configuration
Electrons must fill orbitals starting with the lowest energy level available. The order is shown in the image to the right.
There are a few exceptions, so be careful!!
Pauli Exclusion Principle:
If there are two electrons in the same orbital, they must spin in opposite directions
Don't want them crashing into each other!!
Hund's Rule:
The orbitals of the subshells are filled singly before any are filled doubly
This is often called the bus-seat rule because people tend to fill the double seats on the bus singly rather than sit beside somebody they don't know!
