Question

Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : A spectral line will be observed for a $2p_x	o2p_y$ transition. Statement (II) : $2P_x$ and $2p_y$ are degenerate orbitals. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Dr. Abubacker · Accepted Answer

[Solution by Dr. Abubacker] $2p_x$ and $2p_y$ are degenerate (same energy), so Statement II is true. A spectral line needs an energy difference between the two levels; with none, no line is observed, so Statement I is false. Answer (2).
