Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. In option C, both electrons have the same set of four quantum numbers (n=5, l=1, m=-1, s=+1/2). This violates the Pauli exclusion principle. Options A and B have different quantum numbers for both electrons, so they do not violate the Pauli exclusion principle.
