Concept explainers
(i)
Interpretation:
The orbital degeneracy of the levels in a hydrogenic atom having energy
Concept introduction:
Orbital degeneracy plays an important role in the
(ii)
Interpretation:
The orbital degeneracy of the levels in a hydrogenic atom having energy
Concept introduction:
Orbital degeneracy plays an important role in the quantum mechanics. Orbital represents the number of quantum levels of equal energy. Therefore, the number of equal energy states gives the value of orbital degeneracy. The value of orbital degeneracy cannot be negative. Orbital degeneracy is represented by
