Pauli Exclusion Principle: ______________________________________

A. two electrons can have same set of four quantum numbers

B. no two electrons can have same set of four quantum numbers
C. the electrons fill the orbitals in a sub level, one by one, before pairing
D. the electrons fill the sublevel in an orbital, one by one, before pairing

7. The way in which electrons are distributed in the different orbitals around the nucleus of an atom
is called the electron configuration. Which among the electronic configuration is/are correct?

A. I only
B. I and II
C. I, II and III
D. I, II, III and IV

A. An orbital has a minimum of two opposite spins.

B. An orbital in the different sublevel is filled with one spin before pairing.
C. The number of electrons in the highest energy level of the elements is the basis of their location
on the periodic table.
D. The total number of protons on the outermost energy level is the same as the group number in
the periodic table of elements.

9. How else would you utilize the data table to the distribution of electrons in an atom?

A. By explaining that it is possible to know the exact position of the electron.

B. By explaining that the probability of finding an electron increases abruptly then decreases as it
goes farther from the nucleus.
C. By explaining that the number of dots decreases abruptly and then increases as the dots go
farther from the center.
D. By explaining that the number of dots increases abruptly and then increases as the dots go
farther from the center.

10. Pauli’s Exclusion Principle states that no two electrons can have the same set of four quantum
number; the spin quantum number limits the number of electrons in an orbital to a maximum of
two. Which orbital diagram/s would you use to support Pauli’s Exclusion Principle?
