Which rule says no two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers?

Answer: Pauli exclusion principle.

  • A Hund's rule
  • B Aufbau principle
  • C Pauli exclusion principle
  • D Heisenberg principle

Correct answer: C. Pauli exclusion principle

Explanation: The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have identical four quantum numbers.

NK (n=1)L (n=2)M (n=3)

Bohr's model: electrons occupy fixed circular shells (K, L, M) around the nucleus, with each shell holding up to 2n2 electrons.

Concept context

Explore how electrons are arranged inside an atom. Covers Bohr's model, quantum numbers, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, shapes of s, p, d orbitals, and electronic configuration rules.
