The Pauli exclusion principle, formulated by Wolfgang Pauli, is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics that states that no two fermions (particles with half-integer spin) can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. This principle underlies the stability of matter and the electronic structure of atoms, leading to the organization of electrons into distinct energy levels and the formation of chemical bonds.
