Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to know both the ___________ and the __________ of a particle at the same time.

• velocity, position

• velocity, energy

• position, energy

• velocity, speed

What states that every orbital of a subshell must be singly occupied before any orbital can have a pair?

• Pauli exclusion principle

• Hund's rule
