Which outcome results when electrons exceed permitted momenta at extreme compression?

💡 Explanation

Degeneracy pressure counters gravity during stellar collapse because the Pauli exclusion principle prevents multiple electrons occupying the same quantum state. The increased kinetic energy manifests as pressure; therefore degeneracy occurs rather than atoms packing indefinitely.
