Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): A spectral line will be observed for a

2 p_{x} \to 2 p_{y}

transition.
Statement (II):

2 P_{x}

and

2 p_{y}

are degenerate orbitals.
choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. (b) 2p_x and 2p_y are degenerated orbitals hence having equal energy and therefore no spectral line will be observed for 2p_x 2p_y transition.
