JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 2. structure of atom

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. A Statement-\(I\) is true but Statement-\(II\) is false
  2. B Both Statement-\(I\) and Statement-\(II\) are true.
  3. C Both Statement-\(I\) and Statement-\(II\) are false
  4. D Statement-\(I\) is false but Statement-\(II\) is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Statement-\(I\) is true but Statement-\(II\) is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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.
