Quantum Numbers
Each electron has a set of four numbers, called quantum numbers, that specify it completely; no two electrons in the same atom can have the same four.
Pauli Exclusion Principle
No two electrons in an atom can have identical quantum numbers. This is an example of a general principle which applies not only to electrons but also to other particles of half-integer spin ...
Atomic Number
In the modern periodic table, the elements are actually arranged in order of increasing atomic number--that's the number of protons in one atom of a particular element.
Wolfgang Pauli
Wolfgang Pauli (1900 - 1958) is best known for the Pauli exclusion principle, proposed in 1918, which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers. He was awarded ...
