Which statement is consistent with the Pauli exclusion principle?
- A Electrons in the same atom repel each other.
- B Electrons in different orbitals have the same energy.
- C Electrons in the same orbital form a chemical bond.
- D Electrons in the same atom have identical quantum numbers.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. These quantum numbers describe various properties of an electron, including its energy level, orbital shape, orientation, and spin. Therefore, electrons in the same atom cannot have identical quantum numbers.
