When can two electrons occupy the same orbital according to Pauli's exclusion principle?

If two electrons are to occupy the same orbital, they must have opposite spin.


Who made the statement that 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.


Two objects can not occupy the same space at the same time?

This is known as the Pauli Exclusion Principle. This was stated by the physicist Wolfgang Pauli in 1925 regarding electrons.


Electrons can occupy the same orbital if they have opposite what?

The requirement ("Pauli Exclusion Principle") is that they must be different in at least one of their properties ("quantum numbers").


Who is credited with stating that each orbital can hold two electrons and that these electrons must spin in opposite directions?

Pauli - it is the Pauli exclusion principal.


How many electrons can any orbital hold according to Pauli Exclusion Principle?

When you fill an orbital the electrons must spin in opposite directions. This results in no two electrons having the same quantum number, a result defined as the Pauli Exclusion Principle. You can have 2 electrons in an orbital. Note that 2py 2px and 2pz are three different orbitals.


Who said atomic orbital can hold no more than two electrons?

Was it Pauli? I'm not positive.


Which scientist said an orbital must have opposite spins?

I believe no scientist said exactly this. It is the (two) electrons in the same orbital that must have opposite spins. And the scientist who said that was Wolfgang Pauli in 1925. (Pauli exclusion principle)


Is each orbital has at most two electrons the aufbau principle?

This is usually called the "Pauli Exclusion Principle".


Two electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins is a statement of the?

Electrons have spin of a 1/2. These make electrons fermions. According to Pauli's exclusion principle, no more than one fermion can have the same spin in the same space. So, the electrons occupying the same space must have opposite spin (and so, only two electrons can occupy the same orbital as a result of this, as three electrons will results in two electrons having the same spin state).


Two electrons in the 1s orbital must have different spin quantum numbers to satisfy?

the Pauli exclusion principle


How would you explain the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

An orbital can hold not more than 2 electrons, and if there are two electrons in the orbital, they must have opposite (paired) spins. Therefore, no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. otherwise the Pauli exclusion principle explain that the feature of particles dependent on its nature. for example electrons is fermion thus 2 electrons can accommodate in one level (orbital) but proton is bozone thus 1 proton accommodate in one level.
