Rank your QM knowledge according to Pauli’s Exclusion Principle
Pauli’s Exclusion Principle is a paramount concept in Quantum Mechanics which has implications from statistical mechanics to quantum chemistry, consequently, there are many different statements to summarize it depending on the forum. I occasionally joke with my students about how we learnt it in kindergarten an how we state it now at the end of our computational chemistry course.
So, are you a toddler or high up there with W. Pauli predicting the existence of sub-atomic particles at CERN? Which statement of Pauli’s Exclusion Principle sounds more familiar to you?

LOL just feeling a little humorous this morning!

Thanks!
Very good what you are doing indirectly teaching us in theorical chemistry.
I would like to ask for your on one matter. What will I do to achieve a job which does’nt terminate and gives as instruction:
Cartesian Forces: Max 0.000565305 RMS 0.000095090
It is in both Ts and IRC calculations. Thank you a lot for your help.
Thank you for your kind words. Have you tried changing the algorithm with which the SCF is being solved? this is always my go-to trick whenever I’m finding convergence problems. Try SCF=QC or XQC and if that doesn’t work try setting a different geometry.
Hope this helps
late is better than never. I would like to express my greatfulness to the helpe you spontanously gave five months ago. thankw a lot.
I’m glad to be of service!
Have a nice day!
