Detailed Solution

In the atomic orbitals, electrons are filling up in the increasing order Of their energies ( n +l  ). This means the orbital with least energy is filled first with the electrons.

For 2sn+1=2+0=2;For 3sn+l=3+0=3

For  3pn+l=3+1=4; For 4sn+l=4+0=4

For 3dn+1=3+2=5

Hence, the given all orbitals must be filled before filling 3d orbital
