Understand Hund's Rule: Hund's Rule states that every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin.
Examine the first image: The first image shows two electrons in the first orbital with opposite spins, and the second orbital is singly occupied. This configuration does not violate Hund's Rule.
Examine the second image: The second image shows two electrons in the first orbital with opposite spins, and the second orbital is singly occupied. This configuration does not violate Hund's Rule.
Examine the third image: The third image shows two electrons in the first orbital with opposite spins, and the second orbital is singly occupied. This configuration does not violate Hund's Rule.
Examine the fourth image: The fourth image shows two electrons in the first orbital with opposite spins, and the second orbital is singly occupied. This configuration does not violate Hund's Rule.
