Aufbau (or Building Up) Principle
The Aufbau Principle states that electrons are always placed in the
lowest energy level first, and then placed in higher levels in order.

Hund’s Multiplicity Rule
Hund’s Multiplicity Rule states that when orbitals of equal energy are
available, the orbitals are all filled up with electrons of parallel (same)
spins first.

Categories of Electrons
Inner (core) electrons are those an atom has in common with the
previous noble gas and any completed transition series.
Outer electrons are those in the highest energy level (highest n value).

Electron Configuration and Group
Elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same outer
electron configuration, and thus they exhibit similar chemical behavior.
