Which of the following orbitals are degenerate? 3d xy , 4d xy , 3d z 2 , 3d yz , 5d z 2
Options
- A3d xy , 3d z 2 , 3d yz
- B4d xy , 3d z 2 , 3d yz
- C3d z 2 , 3d yz , 5d z 2
- DNone
Correct answer
A. 3d xy , 3d z 2 , 3d yz
Step-by-step solution
The orbitals which belongs to same subshell and same shell are called degenerate orbitals. 3d xy , 3d z 2 , 3d yz and 4d xy , 4d yz , 4d z 2 are the two sets of degenerate orbitals.
