Interpretation:
The Pauli exclusion principle has to be defined. Also, the existence of maximum two electrons in an orbital has to be explained through this principle.
Concept Introduction:
Erwin Schrödinger gave a model to describe the behavior of an electron in atoms through a wave function. The wave function is defined as a mathematical function for an electron wave that gives the amplitude of the wave at any point in space. It is represented by a Greek letter
The acceptable wave function is characterized by a set of four quantum numbers. These quantum numbers are related to the shape, size of the electron wave and the location of the electron in space. These quantum numbers are represented by
