Question

If two electrons in the same atom have the same four quantum numbers, then they must have the same energy.

A) true

B) false

C) They cannot both have the same four quantum numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

According to Pauli exclusive principle, If two electrons in the same atom have the same four quantum numbers that means they are in the same orbital and even with that they possesses different spins (-1/2 and 1/2) so therefore they cannot have the same energy.
