In which types of orbitals, such as p, d, or f, does the pairing of electrons occur later, following Hund's rule?
Options
- AP orbitals with the entry of the 2nd electron.
- BD orbitals with the entry of the 3rd electron.
- CF orbitals with the entry of the 7th electron.
- DP orbitals with the entry of the 4th electron.
Correct answer
C. F orbitals with the entry of the 7th electron.
Step-by-step solution
"pairing of electrons will start in the p, d and f orbitals with the entry of 4th, 6th and 8th electron, respectively."
