Question

The order in which atomic orbitals are filled is based on what factor?. . A- The potential energy of the orbital.. . B- The highest energy level available.. . C- The overall energy level of the orbital.. . D- The available equivalent energy levels.

Answer 1

The order in which atomic orbitals by electrons are filled is based on the Aufbau principle which states that orbitals are filled in increasing energy level. The answer that applies here is C. The overall energy level of the orbital.
