When magnetic field is applied on orbitals of a given sub energy level, they become:
Correct answer: B. Non degenerate
- A. Degenerate
- B. Non degenerate
- C. Greater in number
- D. Smaller in size
Explanation
In the presence of magnetic field, the orbitals present in a sub-shell(which were degenerate)take up different orientations. In other words, degeneracy is broken and splitting of spectral lines takes place i.e, non degeneracy takes place.

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.
