Question

In what order do electrons fill orbitals within the 3p sublevel? Electrons don’t fill orbitals; protons and neutrons fill orbitals. They double up first, then move on to the next orbital when the first is full. They spread out, waiting until each orbital has one electron before doubling up. They fill the orbitals in random order; you cannot predict exactly where they’ll be

Answer 1

The order do electron fill orbitals within the 3p sublevel is that they spread out, waiting until each orbital has one electron before doubling up.

Step-by-step explanation

According to hund's rule every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied,and all electrons in singly occupied orbital have the same spin.

when every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied by electrons it is then doubled, and the two electrons in same orbital have opposite spins
