Electrons start pairing in the 1s orbital. A 1s orbital can take two electrons, represented by 1s2.
they are similar due to the 2p subshell being one of the first to being added into an equation involving subshells. this is kin to getting on a bus as you and another person are one of the first to board the bus and thus they are similar.
Hund's rule: "Two electrons cannot share the same set of quantum numbers within the same system." There is room for only two electrons in each spatial orbital (according to Pauli exclusion principle, mentioned in question).
Every orbital is different. 2 can occupy the first orbital then 8 can occupy mostly the rest. When you start getting really low on the periodic table orbitals start holding 16, but not till u get really low
To effectively read orbital diagrams, start by understanding the arrangement of electrons in energy levels and sublevels. Each box in the diagram represents an orbital, with arrows indicating the direction of electron spin. Follow the Aufbau principle to fill orbitals with electrons, placing no more than two electrons with opposite spins in each orbital. Pay attention to the number of electrons in each orbital and the overall electron configuration of the atom or ion being represented.
so, you have to start off with your 1s, 2s, 2p and so on... you have to fill each subshell with 2 electrons.... keeping in mind aufbau's chart (follow the order). since sulphur has an atomic number of 16, and has a 2- charge, you have to make the total to 18 electrons. just fill up the slots from the bottom and you should be good.
There is one singly-occupied orbital in the valence shell of potassium in its ground state. This is in accordance with Hund's rule, which states that electrons will occupy separate orbitals within a subshell before they start pairing up.
The electrons fill in the lowest energy orbital that is available. Electrons in the 4s orbital have a lower energy level than electrons in the 3p orbital, so the 4s orbitals are filled with electrons first.

No, a 1p orbital does not exist. The p orbitals start at the n=2 energy level. Within the p subshell, there are three separate p orbitals (px, py, pz).

Helium has only two electrons, and they share one orbital (forming a complementary pair).

An orbital is a region of space that an electron can exist in. For the diagram you start with the 1 s orbital and then 2s, 2p, and so on. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons and each arrow represents, as shown in this image. http://www.chem.uky.edu/courses/che105/105208p6.gif

There are four kinds of orbitals: s, p, d, and f. Each s orbital hold 2 electrons (1 pair). Each p orbital holds 6 (3 pairs), d orbitals hold 10 (5 pairs) and f orbitals hold 14 (7 pairs). The first orbit only has an s orbital. So it holds 2 electrons. The second and third orbits each have an s and a p orbital. So they each hold 8 electrons. The fourth and fifth orbits each have an s, a p, and a d orbital. So they each hold 18 electrons. The sixth and seventh orbits each have an s, a p, a d, and an f orbital. They each hold 32 electrons. To place the electrons in their orbitals: Start at Hydrogen and follow through the periodic table, adding one electron per element until you reach the one you're wondering about. You can also start at the previous noble gas and go towards the element in question. Add electrons to an s orbital if you are in group I or II (or He). Add electrons to a p orbital if you in group IIIA - Noble gases. Remember that the first p orbital is 2p. Add electrons to a d orbital if you are in the transition metals. Remember that the first d orbital is 3d. Add electrons to an f orbital if you are in the rare earth metals (the ones that are usually an insert at the bottom of the page). Remember that the first f orbital is 4f. Also, place all the electrons in the orbital unpaired, then pair them up after all the spots are full. Then progress on to the next type of orbital.
the first orbital to be filled is 1s because in this orbital the negatively charged electron is closer to the positively charged nucleus than in any other orbital Quoted directly from my Chenistry Text Book ( World of Chemisty Zumdahl/Zumdahl/DeCoste , p377 McDougal Littell 2007)
