Ascientist has found new data confirming the plate tectonics theory. how will this most likely the body of knowledge in science?

a. the previous theory will be rejected.
b. the data will to generate consensus.
c. the theory of plate tectonics will no longer need to be proved.
d. the new data will allow scientists to turn the theory into a law.

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.
