Do bosons tend not to obey Pauli Exclusion Principle?
I would appreciate if someone would send me some material about this question, and answer it as well.

Bosons do not obey the exclusion principle. Only fermions do.
 
Boson wave functions must by completely symmetric, so there is no 'exclusion', but some states are still ruled out.
 
A good exercise is to consider a bound state of two fermions forming a boson. Then try to find the solution to the following paradox. While the bosons can be in the same state, the fermions they consist of can't. How is this possible?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
