✿ The word 'Aufbau' in German means ''building up '.The building up of Orbital means the filling up of orbitals with electrons .
✿ The principle states that ; "In the ground state of atoms, the orbitals are filled in order of their increasing energy .
✿ In other words, Electrons first occupy the lowest energy orbital available to them and enter into higher energy orbitals only after the lower energy orbitals are filled .
✿ The order in which energies of the orbitals increase and hence the order in which the orbitals are filled is as follows ;
1s,2s,3s,3p,4s,3d,4p,5s,4d,5p,4f,5d,6p,7s,...
✿ The order may be remembered by using the method given in above figure ; starting from the top, the direction of the arrow gives the order of filling of orbitals ,that is starting from right top to bottom left .
