PLEASE HELP Describe the orbital diagram of an atom with six electrons. Explain how this orbital diagram demonstrates Hund's rule.

See explanation

Explanation:

Hund's rule states that; in the filling of degenerate orbitals, electrons occur singly first before pairing of electrons take place.

If I am to fill six electrons into orbitals, the electron configuration of the atom will be;

1s2 2s2 2px1 2py1 2pz0

Notice that the in filling the degenerate 2px 2py and 2pz levels, the electrons were singly filled first. It is wrong to pair up two electrons in any of the 2p degenerate orbitals until all the orbitals are filled.
