Q10 of 22 Page 174

Following orbital diagram shows the electron configuration of nitrogen atom. Which rule does not support this?

Hund’s rule doesn’t support this. According to Hund’s rule electron pairing in orbital starts only when all available empty orbitals of same energy are singly occupied. Here, in 2p subshell, pairing started without electrons filling the other orbitals.
