Question

Which orbitals are degenerate like 3dxy, 4dxy, 3dz²,4dyz, 4dz²?

Answer 1

"degenerate" means having the same energy. "Degenerate" refers to a set of orbitals. It doesn't make sense to say one orbital is degenerate.

Solving the non-relativistic Schrodinger equation, all the orbitals for a given "n" are degenerate. Energy only depends upon n.

More complete consideration including relativity, spin and quantum electrodynamics shows that they are not all degenerate however.
