Which mechanism prevents electron collapse in hybridized orbitals?

A)Heisenberg uncertainty principle
B)Pauli exclusion principle
C)Hund's rule of multiplicity
D)Aufbau principle's energy levels

💡 Explanation

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle prevents the electron from collapsing into the nucleus because precisely defining position increases momentum uncertainty, therefore electrons occupy orbitals rather than collapsing, rather than Pauli exclusion applying directly to spatial occupation.
