This is one of Hund's Rules for identifying the ground state . Specifically, when we have several orbitals with the same energy and total angular momentum, and only enough electrons available to fill part of these orbitals, the electrons will arrange themselves as uniformly as possible among the available orbitals. Thus we get the maximum possible number of electrons remaining unpaired. This arrangement is most strongly stabilized by attraction between the electrons and the nucleus, and least affected by repulsion between electrons in the same region of space.

The rule also specifies that the spins of the unpaired electrons are parallel. This gives a favorable electromagnetic interaction between the unpaired electrons.

For a complete description of Hund's rules see .

If the atomic number of an element is 11 and the atomic mass is 24, how many electrons does it have?

of any element gives the number of protons and number of electrons in an atom. Sodium has atomic number 11, this shows that Sodium atom has 11 protons in...

Vanadium has two naturally occurring isotopes, 50-V with an atomic mass of 49.9472 amu and 51-V with an atomic mass of 50.9440. The atomic weight of vanadium is 50.9415. What is the percent abundance of the vanadium isotopes?

The idea with that have two naturally occurring is that the percent abundances of those two must add up to give $100%$. In calculations, it is often easier to...

One isotope of bromine has an atomic mass of 78.92 amu and a relative abundance of 50.69%. The other major isotope of has an atomic mass of 80.92 amu and a relative abundance of 49.31%? What is the average atomic mass of bromine?

Multiply the atomic mass of each isotope times its percent abundance in decimal form. Add them together. $"Average atomic mass of Br"$$=$$(78.92xx0.5069)+(80.92xx0.49331)="79.92 u"$

An average sample of chlorine contains 75.77% chlorine-35, with an atomic mass of 34.969 amu (atomic mass units), and 24.23% chlorine-37, with an atomic mass of 36.966 amu. What is the average atomic mass of chlorine?

The weighted average is the sum of each individual nuclide, multiplied by its isotopic abundance. So, we simply do the arithmetic: $0.7577xx34.969+0.2423xx36.966 = ???$ amu Then look at to...

Naturally occurring boron is 80.20% boron-11 (atomic mass of 11.01 amu) and 19.80% of some other isotopic form of boron. What must the atomic mass of this second isotope be in order to account for the 10.81 a average atomic mass of boron?

Background Info Most elements have different isotopes, or atoms with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons. Hence, it is possible to have two atoms that are...

A fictitious element that has two isotopes has an average atomic mass of 117.3. If 65.43% of the atoms of the element have an atomic mass of 119.8, what is the atomic mass of the other isotope?

The weighted average of the is equal to $117.3*"amu"$. And thus.........with units of $"amu"$ $[65.43%xx119.8+34.57%xxchi] =117.3$ Where $chi-="mass of the other isotope"$.... And so we solve for $chi$.... $chi=(117.3-0.6543xx119.8)/(0.3457)=112.6*"amu"$

The atomic radii of transition metals do not decrease significantly across a row. As you add electrons to the d-orbital are you adding core electrons or valence electrons?

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...

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...
