1. Explain the significance of the exclusion principle.

2. Unlike fermions, Bosons do not obey the Pauli Exclusion Principle

3. A white dwarf is supported by the exclusion principle repulsion between the electrons in its matter.

4. These stars would be supported by the exclusion principle repulsion between neutrons and protons, rather than between electrons.

5. Any of a class of elementary or composite particles, including the photon, pion, and gluon, that are not subject to the Pauli exclusion principle (that is, any two Bosons can potentially be in the same …

6. Boson [ bō ′sŏn ] Any of a class of elementary or composite particles, including the photon, pion, and gluon, that are not subject to the Pauli exclusion principle (that is, any two Bosons can potentially be in the same quantum state)

7. Pauli's exclusion principle Up: Quantum Mechanics of Atoms Previous: Many-electron atoms Symmetric / Antisymmetric wave functions We have to construct the wave function for a system of identical particles so that it reflects the requirement that the particles are indistinguishable from each other.
