Answer: When in a magnetic field, the two electrons in a particular orbital differ very slightly in energy because of a property called electron spin. The theory of electron spin states that the two electrons in a single orbital spin in opposite directions on their axes, causing an energy difference between them

Explanation: I hope this helps!
