C. Johannesson A. General Rules zPauli Exclusion Principle yEach orbital can hold TWO electrons with opposite spins.
C. Johannesson A. General Rules zAufbau Principle yElectrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first. y“Lazy Tenant Rule”
C. Johannesson RIGHT WRONG A. General Rules zHund’s Rule yWithin a sublevel, place one e - per orbital before pairing them. y“Empty Bus Seat Rule”
