Question

6 what is incorrect about this orbital diagram? * (0.5 points) both arrows in the 2p box should be pointing up there is nothing incorrect with this diagram in the 2p box there should only be 1 electron in the first 2p box and one in the 2nd 2p box all the arrows should be pointing up.

Explanation:

According to Hund's rule, electrons in degenerate orbitals (like the 2p orbitals here) should first fill each orbital singly with parallel spins before pairing up. In the given 2p orbital diagram, electrons are paired up in the first 2p orbital instead of first filling all 2p orbitals singly.

Answer:

In the 2p box there should only be 1 electron in the first 2p box and one in the 2nd 2p box
