Which restriction arises when multiple electrons occupy overlapping atomic orbitals?

💡 Explanation

Electron correlation energy increases steeply because the Pauli exclusion principle prevents electrons from occupying the exact same quantum state; therefore electrons must occupy successively higher energy states, rather than all crowding into the lowest available.
