Two electrons in the same atom both have n = 6 and ? = 5. Assume the electrons are distinguishable, so that interchanging them defines a new state.

(a) How many states of the atom are possible considering the quantum numbers these two electrons can have?


(b) How many states would be possible if the exclusion principle were inoperative?
