Answer:
A) carbon - 2
B) cobalt - 3
C) sulfur - 2
D) fluorine - 1
E) titanium - 2
F) germanium - 2
Explanation:
Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:-
Firstly, every orbital which is present in the sublevel is singly occupied and then the orbital is doubly occupied.
(A) Carbon.
The electronic configuration is -
![1s^22s^22p^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E2)
Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.
(B) Cobalt.
The electronic configuration is -
![1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{7}4s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E63s%5E23p%5E63d%5E%7B7%7D4s%5E2)
Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 3 orbitals will be singly filled in cobalt.
(C) Sulfur.
The electronic configuration is -
![1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E63s%5E23p%5E4)
Thus, 3s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 2 electrons will be paired in 1 orbital and 2 orbitals will be singly filled in sulfur.
D) fluorine
The electronic configuration is -
![1s^22s^22p^5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E5)
Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 1 orbital will be singly filled in fluorine.
E) Titanium
The electronic configuration is -
![1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{2}4s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E63s%5E23p%5E63d%5E%7B2%7D4s%5E2)
Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 2 orbitals will be singly filled in titanium.
F) Germanium
The electronic configuration is -
![1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E63s%5E23p%5E63d%5E%7B10%7D4s%5E24p%5E2)
Thus, 4s, 3d orbitals are fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Germanium has 2 singly occupied orbitals.
