Question

what happens to the orbitals of an atom when a magnetic field is applied on it? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Effect of a Magnetic Field on an Atomic Orbital. We consider the effect of a magnetic field on the motion of an atomic electron in its orbit. The usual treat-ment deals with the change in magnetic dipole moment assuming the electron's speed changes but the radius of its orbit remains unchanged.
