This is usually called the "Pauli Exclusion Principle".
Hund's rule, which states that electrons must be added one at a time to each orbital in a subshell before pairing up, in order to maximize the total spin of the electrons within that subshell. This ensures that each electron has the same spin within a given orbital.
Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, with opposite spins according to the Pauli exclusion principle.
The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers, which means each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins. The Aufbau principle dictates that electrons fill orbitals starting from the lowest energy level to the highest, creating a systematic order for filling electron configurations. Hund's rule states that electrons will occupy degenerate orbitals singly and with parallel spins before pairing up, ensuring maximum stability. Together, these principles guide the construction of electron configurations and orbital diagrams, ensuring an accurate representation of electron distribution in an atom.
Electrons in uranium are arranged in energy levels and orbitals around the nucleus. Uranium has 92 electrons, with each electron occupying a specific orbital based on the Aufbau principle. The outermost electrons are involved in bonding and chemical reactions, determining the element's properties.
Each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital. Orbitals related to energy level are of equal energy.

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.
The principles that govern the building of an electron configuration include the Aufbau principle (electrons fill orbitals from the lowest energy level to the highest), the Pauli exclusion principle (each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins), and Hund's rule (electrons occupy orbitals singly before pairing up). These principles help determine the arrangement of electrons in an atom's orbitals.
Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, with opposite spins according to the Pauli exclusion principle.
Electrons fill energy levels starting with the lowest energy levels before moving to higher energy levels. This process follows the Aufbau principle, which states that electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing energy. Additionally, the Pauli exclusion principle dictates that each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons with opposite spins.
1 type s orbital → max 2 electrons 3 type p orbitals → max 6 electrons 5 type d orbitals → max 10 electrons 7 type f orbitals → max 14 electrons 9 type g orbitals → max 18 electrons [edit] Aufbau principle In the ground state of an atom (the condition in which it is ordinarily found), the electron configuration generally follows the Aufbau principle. According to this principle, electrons enter into states in order of the states' increasing energy; i.e., the first electron goes into the lowest-energy state, the second into the next lowest, and so on. A pair of electrons with identical spins has slightly less energy than a pair of electrons with opposite spins. Since two electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins, this causes electrons to prefer to occupy different orbitals. This preference manifests itself if a subshell with l > 0 (one that contains more than one orbital) is less than full. For instance, if a p subshell contains four electrons, two electrons will be forced to occupy one orbital, but the other two electrons will occupy both of the other orbitals, and their spins will be equal. This phenomenon is called Hund's rule. Hund's rules Hund's rules, (occasionally called the "bus seat rule") refer to a simple set of rules used to determine which is the term symbol that corresponds to the ground state of a multi-electron atom. They are named in honour of Friedrich Hund who contributed Hund's Rule, rule two as listed here. The four rules are: 1. Electrons can occupy energy levels only above the 2s orbital total orbital. 2. The term with maximum multiplicity (maximum ) has the lowest energy level. 3. For a given multiplicity, the term with the largest value of has the lowest energy in an orbital. 4. For atoms with less than half-filled shells, the level with the lowest value of lies lowest in energy. Otherwise, if the outermost shell is more than half-filled, the term with highest value of is the one with the lowest energy.

Aufbau Principle
Electrons in uranium are arranged in energy levels and orbitals around the nucleus. Uranium has 92 electrons, with each electron occupying a specific orbital based on the Aufbau principle. The outermost electrons are involved in bonding and chemical reactions, determining the element's properties.
Each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital. Orbitals related to energy level are of equal energy.
When you fill an orbital the electrons must spin in opposite directions. This results in no two electrons having the same quantum number, a result defined as the Pauli Exclusion Principle. You can have 2 electrons in an orbital. Note that 2py 2px and 2pz are three different orbitals.
Chromium (Cr) is an exception to the aufbau principle in the fourth period. Instead of filling its 4s orbital before 3d orbitals, it fills 4s and 3d orbitals simultaneously to achieve greater stability.
