Solution
The correct option is A Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity Ground state electronic configuration of Si
is in accordance with Hund's rule which states that electron pairing in any orbital (s,p,dorf) cannot take place until each orbital of the same sub-level contains 1 electron each of like spin.
