of the fifth orbital is different

(d) Ths shapes of all five d-orbitals are different

180. If the nitrogen atom has electronic configuration 1s7, it would

have energy lower than that of the normal ground state

configuration 1s22s22p3, because the electrons would be

closer to the nucleus. Yet 1s7 is not observed because it

violates.

(b) Hund's rule

(c) Pauli exclusion principle

(d) Bohr postulate of stationary orbits
