State
An orbital diagram represents each orbital as a box and each electron as an arrow, arrow direction showing spin, adding detail notation lacks.
Show
Nitrogen's 2p diagram shows three boxes, each holding one upward arrow, matching Hund's rule.
Watch for
Electron configuration notation cannot show which orbitals in a subshell hold unpaired electrons — only a diagram shows that.
