Which outcome results in a Helium atom when the Pauli Exclusion Principle breaks down?

A)Both electrons occupy the 1s orbital
B)Increased diamagnetic susceptibility appears
C)Lyman-alpha spectral line is redshifted
D)Atomic radius decreases by threefold

💡 Explanation

When Pauli Exclusion breaks, there is no longer an energy difference requirement; both electrons could occupy the lowest energy 1s orbital because it permits same-spin occupation. Therefore both electrons will violate the normal pairing rules; rather than having opposite spin.
