Aufbau Principle
Asked by Krishna Prakash · 2 years ago
What is the Aufbau principle in electronic configuration?
1 Answer
The Aufbau principle states that:
1. Electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing energy
2. Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins
3. Electrons occupy orbitals of equal energy individually before pairing up
This principle guides the filling of electron shells and subshells, helping to determine the electronic configuration of elements.
