Given below are two statements: Statement-I: The orbitals having same energy are called as degenerate orbitals. Statement-II: In hydrogen atom, 3p and 3d orbitals are not degenerate orbitals. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given
aStatement-I is true but Statement-II is false
bBoth Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
cBoth Statement-I and Statement-II are false
dStatement-I is false but Statement-II is true
✓ Correct answer: a) Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false
ExplanationStatement I is true: orbitals with same energy are called degenerate.Statement II is false: in hydrogen atom, 3s, 3p, 3d orbitals are degenerate because energy depends only on principal quantum number n, not on l. So, correct answer is: Option A — Statement I is true, Statement II is false.
