The Pauli exclusion principle is obeyed by:
A) all particles
B) all charged particles
C) all particles with spin quantum numbers of 1/2
D) all particles with spin quantum numbers of 1
E) all particles with mass

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two fermions (particles with half-integer spin, such as 1/2) can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. This principle is specifically applicable to particles with spin quantum numbers of 1/2, like electrons, protons, and neutrons.
