The fact that we cannot simultaneously measure the exact position and precise momentum of an electron is referred to as:
A)Pauli Exclusion Principle
B)The Aufbau Principle
C)Hund's Rule
D)The DeBroglie Relationship
E)Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously determine the exact position and precise momentum of a particle, such as an electron. The other options listed are principles and rules that govern electron configuration in atoms and do not relate to the uncertainty principle.
