Question

State the aufbau principle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

To show the sequence of electrons filling sublevels in an atom, the Aufbau's principle is one of the tenets that must be satisfied to write a proper notation.

• Aufbau's principle states that "the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies".
• Note that based on this principle, we are not inferring that sublevels are filled in numerical order.
• The patter of filling is shown below:
