Question
What are degenerate orbitals? According to Hund's rule, how are degenerate orbitals occupied?
Step 1
In other words, they are orbitals within the same subshell (e.g., 2px, 2py, and 2pz are all degenerate orbitals because they have the same energy level within the 2p subshell). Show more…

What are degenerate orbitals? According to Hund"s rule, how are degenerate orbitals occupied?
According to Hund's rule, how are degenerate orbitals occupied? Match the items in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. with a pair singly highest antiparallel parallel Hund's rule states that when filling degenerate orbitals, electrons fill them lowest first, with [ ] spins. This is a result of an atom's tendency to find the [ ] energy state possible.
Which of the subshells described in the previous question contain degenerate orbitals? How many degenerate orbitals are in each?
