← ScienceWhich mechanism prevents electron occupancy beyond capacity in orbitals?
A)Pauli exclusion principle✓
B)Hund's rule multiplicity
C)Aufbau principle adherence
D)Electronegativity equalization
💡 Explanation
The Pauli exclusion principle states each electron assumes a unique quantum state because paired electrons must have opposite spin. Therefore, the orbital capacity is limited to two, rather than electrons arbitrarily filling them based upon Hund's rule.
