The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given atomic orbitals of the hydrogen atom are degenerate, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Degeneracy Degenerate orbitals are those that have the same energy level. For a hydrogen atom, which is a single-electron system, the energy of an orbital depends only on the principal quantum number (n). ### Step 2: Identify the Principal Quantum Number (n) For the given orbitals: - **3s**: n = 3 - **3p_x**: n = 3 - **3p_z**: n = 3 - **3d_xy**: n = 3 - **3d_xz**: n = 3 - **3d_(x²-y²)**: n = 3 - **3d_(z²)**: n = 3 All the orbitals listed have the same principal quantum number, n = 3. ### Step 3: Determine the Azimuthal Quantum Number (l) The azimuthal quantum number (l) for each type of orbital is as follows: - **3s**: l = 0 - **3p_x**: l = 1 - **3p_z**: l = 1 - **3d_xy**: l = 2 - **3d_xz**: l = 2 - **3d_(x²-y²)**: l = 2 - **3d_(z²)**: l = 2 ### Step 4: Identify Degenerate Orbitals In hydrogen, since it is a single-electron atom, all orbitals with the same principal quantum number (n) will be degenerate regardless of their azimuthal quantum number (l). ### Conclusion Since all the given orbitals (3s, 3p_x, 3p_z, 3d_xy, 3d_xz, 3d_(x²-y²), 3d_(z²)) have the same principal quantum number (n = 3), they are all degenerate. **Final Answer**: All 7 orbitals are degenerate. ---
