Question

Explain degeneracy of orbitals in transition elements

Answer 1

${\huge{\boxed{\mathcal{\red{A}\blue{N}\pink{S}\red{W}\blue{E}\pink{R::}}}}}$

➙ In such atoms orbitals belonging to the same subshell are degenerate, meaning they have equal energies. For example, s-orbitals are degenerate, p-orbitals (in the same subshell) have equal energy and are degenerate, and d- orbitals are degenerate.This applies to atoms in spherically symmetric electric fields.
