Detailed Solution

  • π2px and π2pymolecular orbitals are degenerate orbitals i.e., they have the same energy level
  • As they have the same energy level, sub-levels in the p-orbital would be have filled first. 
  • Only if all 3 sub-levels in p-orbitals are half – filled, pairing starts to have. This is Hund’s rule
  • In addition to that, each orbital can have only 2 electrons and these two electrons must have opposite spin. This is Pauli’s rule
  • Thus, Pauli’s rule and Hund’s rule must be followed while filling electrons in  orbitals

 

Hence, Option (C) Both Pauli’s and Hund's rule is the correct answer
