Below

Explanation:

Pauli exclusion principle states that no electron in an atom can have the same 4 quantum numbers. The quantum numbers are n, l, m_1 and m_sn,l,m1andms

nn is the principal quantum number

ll is the angular momentum quantum number which determines the shape of the orbital

m_1m1 is the magnetic quantum number and describes the orientation of an orbital around the nucleus

m_sms is the spin quantum number and has 2 possible values ie m_s=+-1/2ms=±12
