Which of the following rules states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously the exact position and exact momentum of an electron?
Options
- AAufbau's principle
- Bde Broglie's hypothesis
- CHeisenberg uncertainty principle
- DPauli's exclusion principle
Correct answer
C. Heisenberg uncertainty principle
Step-by-step solution
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.
