'No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers' is

  • A.Newton's law
  • B.Bohr's law
  • C.Aufbau principle
  • D.Pauli's exclusion principle

Answer: D

The rule that no two electrons in an atom may share all four quantum numbers is Pauli's exclusion principle.

It is why each orbital holds at most two electrons, of opposite spin, and it is what gives the periodic table its structure. The Aufbau principle is different: it says orbitals fill in order of increasing energy.
