Pauli's Exculusion Principle

[DB]

I know that pauli's exclusion principle states that no 2 identical fermions can occupy the same quantum state. I understand this for let's say a He atom, but what is going on in 2nd energy level of a Neon atom? How are all the electrons in different quantum states?

Thanks

Write down the electron shell+subshell configuration of Neon and label each electron through its 4 quantum numbers.

Write down the electron shell+subshell configuration of Neon
n=1 shell
1s^2

n=2 shell
2s^2,2p^6


and label each electron through its 4 quantum numbers.
I dont know how do do this...

So far it's chemistry (sure derived from QM).Question:Do u know QM??

Umm, I have the understandin of QM, If you could give me a brief explanation of the quantum numbers and the exclusion principle I would research on it and learn more about it.

The part with the quantum numbers and their origin/signification is more complex & pretty mathematical.Do you know group theory???

No, maybe I'm too undereducated to understand the exclusion principle, maybe you can point me in the right direction, where should I start?

With a solid course on analytical mechanics.Quantum Mechanics quantizes classical system described by Hamilton's formulation of Classical Mechanics.
