For the He atom, the electronic configuration is 1s2 The orbital diagram is: He 1s The two electrons occupying the same orbital are said to be “paired”.
For the He atom, the electronic configuration is 1s2 The orbital diagram is: He 1s The two electrons occupying the same orbital are said to be “paired”. One value of ms corresponds to and the other value of ms corresponds to .
Note that both the diagrams would be ruled out by the Pauli Exclusion Principle (both electrons in each box have the same values of msas well as the same values of n, l, and ml).

Comparison of the energies of 1s22s1 versus 1s22p1 Which is lower in energy, and can we rationalize why this is so, for a multi-electron atom? The 1s orbital is filled and electrons in this orbital lie close to the nucleus.
Comparison of the energies of 1s22s1 versus 1s22p1 Which is lower in energy, and can we rationalize why this is so, for a multi-electron atom? The 1s orbital is filled and electrons in this orbital lie close to the nucleus. Both the 2s and 2p orbitals are “larger”, and an electron in either of these two orbitals will lie on average, further away from the nucleus than an electron in the 1s orbital.
An electron in either the 2s or 2p orbital is said to be shielded from the nucleus by the 1s electrons.
An electron in either the 2s or 2p orbital is said to be shielded from the nucleus by the 1s electrons. That is, an electron in a 2s or 2p orbital in the lithium atom would not see a nuclear charge of +3.
An electron in either the 2s or 2p orbital is said to be shielded from the nucleus by the 1s electrons. That is, an electron in a 2s or 2p orbital in the lithium atom would not see a nuclear charge of +3. The shielding reduces the electrostatic attraction between the protons in the nucleus and the electron in the 2s or 2p orbitals.
From experiment it can be shown that the electron density for the 2s electron near the nucleus is greater than for an electron in a 2p orbital.
From experiment it can be shown that the electron density for the 2s electron near the nucleus is greater than for an electron in a 2p orbital. For this reason, the 2s orbital is said to be more penetrating than the 2p orbital.
From experiment it can be shown that the electron density for the 2s electron near the nucleus is greater than for an electron in a 2p orbital. For this reason, the 2s orbital is said to be more penetrating than the 2p orbital. For the same principal quantum number n, the penetrating power decreases in the order s > p > d > f ….

For this reason, the 2s orbital is said to be more penetrating than the 2p orbital. For the same principal quantum number n, the penetrating power decreases in the order s > p > d > f …. Since the stability of an electron in an orbital is determined by how strongly it is attracted by the nucleus, it follows that an electron in a 2s orbital will be lower in energy than an electron in a 2p orbital.

Note that the unpaired electron for the B atom may be in the 2px, 2py, or 2pz orbital. This follows from the fact that the three 2p orbitals are equivalent in energy.

To predict which one of the above will give the greatest stability, requires the use of Hund’s rule.
To predict which one of the above will give the greatest stability, requires the use of Hund’s rule. Hund’s Rule: The most stable arrangement of electrons in subshells is the one with the greatest number of parallel spins.
