NEET Chemistry Orbitals MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about electron distribution in orbitals is correct?
Electrons in the same subshell must be singly occupied before pairing occurs.
Electrons will pair in an orbital before all orbitals in a subshell are singly occupied.
The first two electrons in a subshell can occupy the same orbital without restriction.
All orbitals in a subshell must be fully filled before the next subshell begins to fill.
