2 electrons can occupy the same orbital only if?
they have opposite spin
As many as four electrons can occupy the same orbital true or false?
False. Only two electrons with opposite spins can occupy an orbital.
As many as four electrons can occupy the same orbitals?
No - only two electrons with opposite spin can occupy the same orbital
What states that two electrons can occupy the same orbital only if they have opposite spins?
The Pauli Exclusion Principal states that two fermions (an electron is a fermion) can only occupy an orbital if they have opposite spin.
Pauli stated in 1925 that two electrons can occupy the same orbital only if?
if they have opposite spin.
When can electrons occupy the same orbital?
only if spins are opposite: one up one down.
What principle states that a maximum of two electrons may occupy a single atomic orbital but only if the electrons have opposite spins?
It is the Pauli exclusion principle.
What is the principle that states a maximum of two electrons may occupy a single atomic orbital but only if the electrons have opposite spins?
paul exclusion principle
Who states that two electrons can occupy the same orbital only if they have opposite spins?
The Pauli exclusion principle. See related link.
How many electrons maximum can be in one orbital?
There can only be 2 electrons in each single orbital, and they will be on opposite sides of the electron cloud (orbital).
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy 4s?
Any s orbital can only hold 2 electrons maximum.
No more than two electrons in the same atom can occupy a single orbital?
The orbital that allows no more than two electrons is the s orbital. This is a spherical shaped orbital. Elements with valence electrons lying only in the s orbital are metals.
