The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. This means that if one electron in an atom has a particular set of quantum numbers (such as n, l, ml, and ms), another electron in the same atom cannot have the same set of quantum numbers. This principle is important in determining the electronic configuration and properties of atoms, and is a fundamental principle in quantum mechanics.
