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.

Who was Swiss physicist who formulated the Exclusion Principle?

If you are talking about the Pauli Exclusion Principle, then it would be Wolfgang Pauli. However, Pauli is Austrian.


Into which orbital would the next electron be placed?

The next electron would be placed in the next available lowest energy orbital according to the aufbau principle, Hund's rule, and the Pauli exclusion principle.


The Pauli exclusion principle states that?

Simple stated, no two electrons can have the same quantum numbers. Electrons at the same level would have a + and - spin.


Do the electrons within the electron cloud have different amonts of energy?

Of course, if any two were in the same state it would violate both fermi statistics and the pauli exclusion principle.


What must be true about electrons sharing the same atomic orbital?

The Pauli exclusion principle would require that an electron sharing the same orbital would have to have opposite spin from the other particle in the pair. They therefore have different spin quantum numbers of +(1/2) and -(1/2)


Is it possible for atoms of different elements to have the same number of electrons?

no it is not possible"Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electronsin an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers"


The difference between Aufbau principle and pauli exclusion principle?

according to hund's rule ,electrons are distributed among the orbitals having equal energy [degenerate orbitals] in such a way that the number of unpaired electrons is maximum.In other words , if the number of electrons is less or equal to the orbitals of same energy then all these electrons will be unpaired.But when the number of electrons is more than the available orbitals , then first all the orbitals will be singly occupied and then pairing of electrons will start.Due to this interelectronic repulsion will be minimum when the electrons occupy separate orbitals and when number of unpaired electrons with same spin is greater than exchange energy will also be greater this stablizes the system. While pauli's exclusion principle is that an orbital can accomodate not more than 2 electrons that too with opposite spins.


Why do the two electrons in an electron pair need to have different spins to remain in the same orbital?

The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers, including spin. Therefore, electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins to adhere to this principle. This helps to ensure the stability of the electron pair within the orbital.


Bohr model for germanium?

The Bohr model describes the structure of an atom with electrons orbiting the nucleus in discrete energy levels. In the case of Germanium, a semiconductor element with 32 electrons, the Bohr model would show electrons arranged in multiple energy levels around the nucleus composed of protons and neutrons. The electrons in the Germanium atom would populate the energy levels according to the Aufbau principle and the Pauli exclusion principle, with the inner levels being filled first before moving to outer levels. The arrangement of electrons in the Bohr model helps to explain the properties of Germanium, such as its conductivity and chemical behavior.


Who said that no two objects can occupy the same space at the same time?

This sounds to me like the Pauli exclusion principle, which says that 2 electrons cannot occupy the same state at the same time (which is sort of like the same position). The basic idea is that you can't have two things occupying the same exact position at the same time; that they can't 'overlap'. If this is true, it explains a lot of things in physics, but it also poses some interesting questions, like what happens in the centre of a black hole...


Can a stable atom have an orbital which has three electrons?

Yes, a stable atom can have an orbital with three electrons. An atomic orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, following the Pauli exclusion principle. The third electron would go into a different orbital within the same energy level.
