An example figure from the Orbital Diagram generator.

Orbital diagram of oxygen: 1s and 2s boxes each with a pair of arrows, and three 2p boxes with one pair and two single up arrows — The orbital diagram of an oxygen atom, 1s² 2s² 2p⁴, with each electron an arrow in a box. The 1s and 2s orbitals each hold a pair; in 2p, one orbital holds a pair and the other two hold one electron each, following Hund’s rule.
