Chemistry Structure of Atom MHT CET 2023

Identify degenerate orbitals from following for hydrogen atom.

(A)1s and 2s
(B)1s and 2p
(C)2s and 2pCorrect
(D)3s and 2p

Answer: (C)

Solution

Orbitals with the same energy are degenerate. In a hydrogen atom (a one-electron system) the energy depends only on the principal quantum number , , and not on the azimuthal quantum number . So
