My heart sank as I reached the end of this question and realized that tragically
I must pass on this one because the comma on my keyboard doesn't work
Electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing orbital energy. The exact order of these energy levels is shown at the related link below.
Aufbau
In ethylene (C2H4), the sigma bond between the carbon and hydrogen atoms is formed by the overlap of the sp2 hybrid orbitals from carbon and the 1s orbital from hydrogen. The sp2 hybridization in carbon results in three sp2 orbitals and one unhybridized p orbital, with the three sp2 orbitals forming sigma bonds and the p orbital forming a pi bond.
Ethylene (C₂H₄) has a total of 6 molecular orbitals formed from the combination of 2 carbon atomic orbitals and 4 hydrogen atomic orbitals. These consist of 2 bonding molecular orbitals (σ and π) and their corresponding antibonding orbitals (σ* and π*), resulting in a total of 4 occupied molecular orbitals. The σ molecular orbitals include one from the C-C bond and two from the C-H bonds, while the π molecular orbital arises from the overlap of the p orbitals on the carbon atoms.
The shielding effect order is based on the ability of each subshell to shield electrons in lower energy levels from the nucleus. The order spdf corresponds to the increasing effectiveness of electron subshells for shielding, with s orbitals providing the least shielding, followed by p, d, and f orbitals. This order reflects the increasing distance of the electrons from the nucleus and the increasing number of inner electrons that shield the outer electrons.
list all the orbitals that hydrogen electrons can occupy as it fall.
Hydrogen electron orbitals are important because they determine the probability of finding an electron in a specific region around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom. Understanding these orbitals helps us predict the behavior of hydrogen atoms, such as their chemical reactivity and bonding patterns.
Hydrogen orbitals are important in atomic structure because they describe the probability of finding an electron in a specific region around the hydrogen nucleus. Understanding these orbitals helps scientists predict the behavior of electrons in atoms and molecules, which is crucial for explaining chemical bonding and reactivity.
No..It is hybridised to be precise.. See oxygen forms 3 sp2 hybrid orbitals with two half filled orbitals and one orbital filled with the lone pair.. hence the half filled orbitals are each filled by the hydrogen atoms respectively( as hydrogen requires only one atom for stability)..
Helium has completely filled orbitals and hence is unreactive.

Aufbau
The hyberdization of BH4- is sp3, as boron donates one electron to each of the hydrogen atoms, resulting in four sigma bonds formed by the overlap of the sp3 hybrid orbitals on boron with the 1s orbitals on hydrogen.
Electrons will occupy orbitals having the lowest energy first, and then in order of increasing energy.
Designations given to orbitals, in the order atoms of increasing size require them.
The atomic number of helium is one more than that of hydrogen. In both the elements, the electrons are filled in the 1s orbitals. Hydrogen has one electron, helium has two.
Phosphorus in phosphorus trihydride (PH3) uses sp3 hybrid orbitals to form single bonds with the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a tetrahedral molecular shape. The hybridization allows the phosphorus atom to form bonds with the hydrogen atoms by combining its 3p and 3s orbitals to create four equivalent sp3 hybrid orbitals.
