Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : A spectral line will be observed for a 2 p _x 2 p _y transition. Statement (II) : 2 P_x and 2 p_y are degenerate orbitals. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- BStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- DStatement I is true but Statement II is false
Correct answer
B. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Step-by-step solution
2 p_ x and 2 p _ y are degenerated orbitals hence having equal energy and therefore no spectral line will be observed for 2 p_x 2 p_y transition.
