Nature prefers low energy. It is thus energetically favorable to do so.

The order in which atomic orbitals are filled is based on what factor?
It is based on many factors, but the easiest to understand is ENERGY. The orbitals in which the electron has the lowest energy are filled FIRST.
Who stated an Electron Must Occupy The Lowest Available Energy Orbital?
While I am not sure who stated it, that's a general tendency in nature, and not just for electrons - i.e., for systems to go to the lowest possible energy level.
Which is the lowest energy level that contains d orbitals?
The lowest energy level that has F orbitals is the fourth energy level. The Atomic orbital of any atom only contains 2 electrons.
The electrons to enter orbitals of lowest energy first?
Aufbau principle
What is the energy level and orbital for K?
Assuming K stands for potassium, an element with 19 electrons, the electron configuration is as follows: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s13p64s1 The electron configuration shows the orbitals is order of energy level. The 4s orbital being at the highest energy level and the 1s orbital being at the lowest energy level. As 2px, 2py and 2pz exist, there are three 2p orbitals that occur at the p level, allowing the element to carry 6 electrons, 2 in each orbital. There is a specific order in listing the orbitals

What is the area surrounding the atom where electrons are located?
Its called the electron shell. Electrons will always fill up low orbitals first in the shell, an then as more energy is added to the atom, the electrons move up an orbit, then release the energy in some form, and they move back down to the lowest energy orbit.
What is the lowest level to allow f orbitals?
the lowest energy level to allow f orbitals is the fourth energy level

If Assuming all orbitals are the same in energy level which type of orbital has the lowest energy?
The s orbital has the lowest energy level.
Which is the lowest energy level that contains d orbitals?
The lowest energy level that has F orbitals is the fourth energy level. The Atomic orbital of any atom only contains 2 electrons.
How many unpaired electrons does phosphorus have in its 3p sub level?
3. Orbitals are filled one electron at a time, putt ting electrons into the lowest energy orbitals first. When there are degenerate orbitals ( having the same energy e.g. p and d orbitals) they tale one un paired electron each first and then and then any extra electrons are added into a half filled orbital to make a spin pair. P has a configuration of [Ne] 3s2 3p3 and there are only three p orbitals ( at any energy level)

What is energy of electron when it is closest to the nucleus?
The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.
What is aufba rule?
Electrons will occupy orbitals having the lowest energy first, and then in order of increasing energy.
How do you use aufbau principle to determine electronic configuration?
Each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital. Orbitals related to energy level are of equal energy.
