Which of the following quantum number sets is not allowed?

• { 3, 2, +1, -1/2 }
• { 5, 3, -1, +1/2 }
• { 12, 1, +2, +1/2 }
• { 7, 6, -5, -1/2 }

This "rule" of Quantum Chemistry states that no 2 electrons in an atom can be in the exact same state...each electron in an atom can be described by a unique set of quantum numbers.

• Hund's Rule
• Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
• Aufbau Principle
• Pauli Exclusion Principle
