Question

In the absence of magnetic field p-orbitals are known as ___ fold degenerate

Open in App

Solution

In the absence of magnetic field p-orbitals are known as three fold degenerate because p-subshell contains 3 orbitals. they are designated as $P_{x}, P_{y}$ and $P_{z}$ . In the absence of magnetic field these orbitals are equivalent in energy.

Q. Consider the following statement
I) Splitting of spectral lines in magnetic field is due to the presence of degenerate orbitals
II) In presence of electric field energy value of

The correct combination is:

Q. Assertion :Spliting of spectral lines takes place when the source giving the spectrum is placed in a magnetic field. Reason: In the presence of magnetic field,the orbitals present in a sub-shell(which were degenerate)take up different orientations. In other words, degeneracy is broken and splitting of spectral lines takes place.
