Explanation:

The aufbau principle is one of the fundamental principles that guides the filling of electrons into orbitals. In its simplest forms, it principally means that orbital with lower energy are filled first before orbital with higher energy.

In its more composed form. It's states that orbitals will be filled in order of increasing energy which is generally in order of increasing principal quantum number.
