Structure Of Atom Question 10
Question 10 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 1)
Given below are two statements:
Statement-I: The orbitals having same energy are called as degenerate orbitals.
Statement-II: In hydrogen atom, $3 \mathrm{p}$ and $3 \mathrm{~d}$ orbitals are not degenerate orbitals.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given
(1) Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false
(2) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
(3) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false
(4) Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true
Show Answer
Answer (1)
Solution
For single electron species the energy depends upon principal quantum number ’ $n$ ’ only. So, statement II is false.
Statement I is correct definition of degenerate orbitals.
