The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "In a given atom no two electrons can have the same values for all the four quantum numbers. This is called," we need to identify the principle that describes this phenomenon. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Quantum Numbers**: - Each electron in an atom is described by four quantum numbers: - Principal quantum number (n): Indicates the energy level. - Azimuthal quantum number (l): Indicates the shape of the orbital. - Magnetic quantum number (m_l): Indicates the orientation of the orbital. - Spin quantum number (m_s): Indicates the spin direction of the electron (either +1/2 or -1/2). 2. **Identifying the Principle**: - The question states that no two electrons can have the same set of all four quantum numbers. This means that if one electron is described by a specific set of quantum numbers, another electron in the same atom cannot share that exact set. 3. **Recalling Relevant Principles**: - The principle that states this is known as **Pauli’s Exclusion Principle**. It asserts that in an atom, no two electrons can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the answer to the question is: **Pauli's Exclusion Principle**.
