Review Problem: Suppose that the electron in the hydrogen atom obeyed classical rather then quantum mechanics. Why should such an atom emit a continuous rather then discrete spectrum?
If hydrogen obeyed classical physics, we would have no quantized electron orbits. Therefore the transitions between orbits (energy levels) could be arbitrarily large or small. This leads to a continuous spectrum of emitted light.

28.9 The Pauli Exclusion Principle28.9 The Pauli Exclusion Principle
Recall BohrRecall Bohr’’s model of an atom. Why dons model of an atom. Why don’’t all the t all the electrons stay on the lowest possible orbit?electrons stay on the lowest possible orbit?
PauliPauli’’s exclusion principle:s exclusion principle: no two electrons in an atom no two electrons in an atom can ever be in the same quantum statecan ever be in the same quantum state
In other words, no two electrons in the same atom can have In other words, no two electrons in the same atom can have exactly the same values for n, exactly the same values for n, ℓℓ, , mm ℓℓ, and m, and mss
This explains the electronic structure of complex atoms This explains the electronic structure of complex atoms as a as a successionsuccession of filled energy levels with different of filled energy levels with different quantum numbersquantum numbers
