The document discusses electron configuration and the filling order of electrons in atoms. It explains that electrons fill atomic orbitals based on the Aufbau principle, filling the lowest energy orbitals first until all electrons are accounted for. Diagrams show the sublevels in each energy level and how they are filled for various elements according to Hund's rule of maximum unpaired electrons.

4. Filling Rules for Electron Orbitals
Aufbau Principle: Electrons are
added one at a time to the lowest
energy orbitals available until all the
electrons of the atom have been
accounted for.
*Aufbau is German for building up
