Question

Which of the following is an example of violating aufbau principle in filling electronic orbitals

Answer 1

Answer:

 [Ne] 3s² 3d³

Explanation:

According to aufbau's principle of filling electronic orbitals, the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies.

One important to know about this principle is that sublevels do not fill in numerical order.

The order of filling is;

 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 6s 4f 5d 6p 7s 5f e.tc

From the given choices the wrong one is;

   [Ne] 3s² 3d³

3p fills up before 3d;
