Given below are two statements : In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Answer
(1) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Solution
Statement I: definition of degenerate orbitals ⇒ true
For H atom (one electron): En = - 13.6n2 eV depends on n only
⇒ 3s, 3p, 3d have the same energy ⇒ degenerate
∴ Statement II is false
Answer: (1)
