    The observation that the ground state of nitrogen atom has 3 unpaired electrons in its electronic configuration and not otherwise is associated with:

    A)  Pauli?s exclusion principle

    B)  Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity

    C)  Heisenberg?s uncertainty principle

    D)  Ritz combination principle

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Key Idea: (i) Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:  States that pairing of electrons in an orbital starts only when each of them has received one electron each. (ii) Heisehberg's uncertainty principle: States that position and momentum of an electron cannot be measured accurately and simultaneously. (iii) Pauli?s exclusion principle: States that no two electrons of same atom can have all 4 quantum number values identical. \[\therefore \]Presence of 3 unpaired electrons in electronic configuration of nitrogen is associated with Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity.
