The sequence of filling electrons in sub-shells of elements with few exceptions in d-block and f-block elements is governed by Aufbau principle followed by Hund’s rule and Pauli’s exclusion principle.
(a ) The electron prefers to enter into sub-shells with lower (n + l) value.
The energy for any sub-shell of an element other than hydrogen is proportional to the sum of principal quantum number (n) and angular momentum quantum number
( b) If (n + l) value is same for many sub-shells, priority of electron filling is given to the sub-shell with lowest n value.
(c ) (i) Fulfilled sub shell is most stable.
(ii) “half filled orbitals are more stable than partially filled orbital”.

If Hunds rule is not obeyed by some elements given below then which atom has maximum magnetic moment.
  1. Fe
  2. Cu
  3. Cr
  4. Mn

Answer

(C) Cr
