When two electrons are in the same atomic orbital, which property must be different for them to comply with the Pauli exclusion principle?
- A Mass
- B Charge
- C Spin
- D Energy
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
To comply with the Pauli exclusion principle, two electrons in the same atomic orbital must have opposite spins. The spin of an electron is an intrinsic property that can be considered as a quantum version of angular momentum.
