What are two of the errors from the box orbital diagram and the configuration shown there? 

  • A.

    There is one other orbital missing from the orbital diagram (there should be 5 listed), and the 2d orbital does not exist (if n=2, there are only 2s and 2p orbitals at that level). 

  • B.

    There should be two electrons in the box orbital diagram and There is no n=2 level possible. 

  • C.

    There should be two orbitals added to the box orbital diagram, and there should be a superscript of 2 for the configuration.
