The Energy Levels of Electrons in Space

Two Electrons out in space can be in the same quantum state They can sort of be one topic of each other But now you know if they're orbiting around the nucleus of an atom I feel like there's a but just space there. What does this mean about the energy levels? Well, if you have an electron and it's around a nucleus You've already confined it to a very small space Right And so in order to have two electrons basically being on top of each other from the point of view of the universe those two electrons Have to distinguish between themselves So that electron has more energy than the lowest level Around an atom you can't just have any arbitrary energy out in free space An electron
