Orbitals having the same energy are called:
Correct answer: B. Degenerate orbitals
- A. Hybrid orbitals
- B. Degenerate orbitals
- C. Valence orbitals
- D. Sub-orbitals
Explanation
Degenerate orbitals are the orbitals of the same subshell having equal energies. When the electrons of the orbitals are not influenced by any external factors like an electric field or magnetic field, they have the same energies.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
