Which of the following rules states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously the exact position and exact momentum of an electron?
- A Aufbau's principle
- B de Broglie's hypothesis
- C Heisenberg uncertainty principle
- D Pauli's exclusion principle
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Heisenberg uncertainty principle
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, "it is impossible to calculate the position and momentum of a small moving object like an electron simultaneously and accurately." The principle only applies to microscopic particles and not to macroscopic particles.
