MCQ
If the nitrogen atom had electronic configuration $1s^7,$ it would have energy lower than of the normal ground state configuration $1s^2 ,2s^2 ,2 p^3$ because the electron would be closer to the nucleus. Yet $1s^7$ is not observed because it violates
  • A
    Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle
  • B
    Hund’s rule
  • Pauli’s exclusion principle
  • D
    Bohr postulate of stationary orbit

Answer

Correct option: C.
Pauli’s exclusion principle
c

Pauli's exclusion principle states that the orbitals are filled in the increasing order of the energy shell e.g. $1 s ^2 \,2 s ^2 \,2 p ^6\, 3 s ^2\, 3 p ^6$
