Pauli exclusion principle: electrons and quantum numbers

Pauli Exclusion Principle

1. No two electrons in an atom can have the samen number of quantum numbers

   • Example of an general principle which applies not only to Electrons, also applies to other particles of half-integer spin (fermions)
     • It doesn´t apply to particles of integer spin (bosons).

2. The nature of the Pauli exclusion principle can be see it by supposing that electrons 1 and 2 are in states a and b respectively.

   • • Can be illustrated like this
     • But this illustration is wrong beacuse electrons are identical and indistinguishable
       • • The wavefunction for the state in which both states "a" and "b" are occupied by the electrons can be illustrated
