Pauli exclusion principle<br />

47<br />

From spectra of complex atoms, Wolfgang Pauli (1925)<br />

deduced a new rule:<br />

“Pauli Exclusion Principle”<br />

“In a given atom, no two electrons* can be in the same<br />

quantum state, i.e. they cannot have the same set of<br />

quantum numbers n, l, m l , m s ”<br />

→ every “atomic orbital <strong>with</strong> n,l,m l ” can hold 2 electrons: (↑↓)<br />

Systems of bosons have symmetric, fermions have antisymmetric<br />

wave function<br />

→ Fermi <strong>and</strong> Bose statistics<br />

→ explains stability of atoms<br />

*Note: More generally, no two identical fermions (any particle <strong>with</strong><br />

spin of ħ/2, 3ħ/2, etc.) can be in the same quantum state.
