Step 1
- The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. This means that an orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons, and they must have opposite spins. Show more…

The following do not represent valid ground-state electron configurations for an atom either because they violate the Pauli exclusion principle or because orbitals are not filled in order of increasing energy. Indicate which of these two principles is violated in each example. (a) $[\mathrm{Ne}] 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 3 d^{5}$ (c) $1 s^{2} 3 s^{1}$ (b) $[\mathrm{Xe}] 6 s^{3}$
