Pauli Exclusion principle states that no two electrons can have the same quantum numbers. Each electron has a specific set of unique quantum numbers.

The electronic configuration of bromine atom is;

"1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5"

It's principal quantum number is "4.33"

Quantum number "l=2" corresponds to d level only

The total number of orbitals "=4*10" electrons

"=40" electrons.
