Match definitions:
Aufbau Principle
states that each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital available
Pauli's exclusion Principle
principle that states electrons occupying the same orbital must have opposite spin
Hund's Rule
states that every orbital in a subshell has one electron before a single orbital is double occupied with two.
