Question 32:
Part (a)
The rule that an orbital may be occupied by only two electrons is the Pauli Exclusion Principle (in a more basic description for filling rules, this is part of the Pauli principle's application to electron occupancy in orbitals).
Electrons in the same orbital having opposite spins is also part of the Pauli Exclusion Principle (spin - pairing requirement for electrons in the same orbital).
The rule of one electron per sub - orbital before doubling up is Hund's Rule (electrons fill degenerate orbitals singly first with parallel spins, then pair up).
