Rule 1 - Lowest energy orbitals fill first. Thus, the filling pattern is 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, . . .

Since the orbitals within the same subshell (same $l$) are degenerate (of equal energy), the entire subshell of a particular orbital type is filled before moving to the next subshell of higher energy.

Rule 2 - Only two electrons are permitted per orbital and they must be of opposite spin.

Note - Two electrons with opposite spins found in the same orbital are referred to as being paired.

Rule 3 - The most stable arrangement of electrons in a subshell occurs USUALLY (but not always) when the maximum number of unpaired electrons exist, all possessing the same spin direction.

As a rule of thumb, this occurs to maximize the exchange energy (when spins are parallel), which is stabilizing, and minimize the repulsion energy that comes about from pairing up (when spins are opposite).

Electrons are coulombically repulsive to one another and tend to (but not always) only pair after all of the orbitals have been singly filled.

The ratio for an mass-to-charge electron is $5.64 x 10^(-12)$ kg/C. In another experiment, using Millikan's oil drop apparatus, the found the charge on the electron is $1.605 x 10^(-19)$ C. What would be the mass of the electron, according to these data?

And should I multiply $"mass"/cancel"charge"xxcancel"charge"$, I should get an answer of $"mass"$. Let's see: $5.64xx10^-12*kg*cancel(C^-1)xx1.605xx10^-19*cancelC$ $~=1xx10^30*kg$ for a single electron. Well, I got the units of mass, which...

How do we conceive that elements typically fill up their orbitals?

This happens only with period 2 elements. Hydrogen and helium can only get a maximum of 2. I also said 'certain elements' as a lot of elements on period...

In what order do electrons fill orbitals within a sublevel?

The relative energy of sublevels is decided by ($n+l$) value of a given subshell . Lower the $n+l$ value , lower is the energy. Lower energy subshells are filled first...

Whats the difference between electron shells, electron levels, and electron orbitals?

Electron orbitals are probability areas of finding an electron in a given space. Different electron orbitals have different mathematical formulas giving different shapes and energy levels for the different electron...

There are four types of electron orbitals, s, p, d, and f. In each energy level, there are one, three, and five orbitals of the s, p, and d types, respectively. Using the same pattern, how many f orbitals are there in each energy level?

The pattern you speak of that tells us the number of orbitals of each type results from solving of Schroedinger's equation. In the course of solving this equation, one generates...

What rule is this: "When filling orbitals of equal energy, electrons fill them singly first with parallel spins"?

You will have to look up the details, but Hund's rule states that in a many electron atom, the ground state is when the spin quantum number is maximized. Of...

I have 5.6 X 10(24) molecules of Helium gas to fill balloons at a ballgame. If each balloon holds 1.5 liters, how many balloons can I fill? Assume STP

You can fill 140 balloons. This is a disguised problem. We can use number of molecules of helium to calculate the number of moles. Then we can use the...
