Is it possible that an electron of the 2s orbit fills the gap in 1s after electron capture?

i believe no and it has something to do with the quantum-numbers but i can't find a conclusive explanation. or maybe i am totally wrong.

Hint : What does Aufbau principle and Hund's Rule of maximum multiplicity state ? And please use the words- subshells and orbitals instead of orbits !

Edit: Need to be moved to chemistry section..
