Question 1

What does the Aufbau Principle state?

  • Electrons fill orbitals in the order of increasing energy.
  • Electrons can pair in orbitals before filling them singly.
  • Electrons can occupy any orbital regardless of energy.

💡 Hint: Think about how you'd fill a container from the bottom up.

Question 2

True or False: The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that two electrons can occupy the same orbital if they have opposite spins.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the restrictions on electron pairing.
