Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): A spectral line will be observed for a 2p\(_x\) \(\rightarrow\) 2p\(_y\) 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:
Statement (I): A spectral line will be observed for a 2p\(_x\) \(\rightarrow\) 2p\(_y\) 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:
Show Hint
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: In the case of degenerate orbitals (such as 2p\(_x\) and 2p\(_y\) orbitals in a hydrogen atom), transitions between them can occur and produce spectral lines. Hence, Statement I is correct.
Step 2: However, Statement II is incorrect. The 2p\(_x\) and 2p\(_y\) orbitals are not degenerate in a real atom due to the presence of the electric field of the atom (i.e., their energies are slightly different).
Thus, the correct answer is that Statement I is true and Statement II is false.
