Answer:

A) calcium-0 B) gallium-1 C) silicon-2 D) vanadium-3 E) carbon-2 F) neon-0

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) Calcium.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and thus there is no singly filled orbital in calcium.

(B) Gallium.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^1

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, no electrons will be paired and thus, 1 orbital will be singly filled in gallium.

(C) Silicon.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^2

Thus, 3s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, no electrons will be paired and thus, 2 orbitals will be singly filled in silicon.

D) Vanadium

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{3}4s^2

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 3 orbitals will be singly filled in vanadium.  

(E) Carbon.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^2

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

F) Neon

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^6

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons which is also fully filled. So, there is no singly filled orbital in neon.
