Question

what principle is the following orbital diagram violating? * (0.5 points) pauli exclusion principle none hunds rule aufbau principle

Explanation:

Hund's Rule states that electrons in degenerate orbitals (same - energy orbitals like the three 3p orbitals) first fill each orbital singly with parallel spins before pairing up. In the given 3p orbital diagram, electrons are not filling each 3p orbital singly first, violating Hund's Rule. The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers, and this is not violated here. The Aufbau Principle states that electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing energy (1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s etc.), and this is also not violated.

Answer:

C. Hund's Rule
