Question

The degeneracy of the level of hydrogen atom that has energy - RH/16 is ??

Answer 1

You're supposed to work backward from the Rydberg formula to the principal quantum number n, and then remember the degeneracy of the hydrogen atom for each value of n.

Answer 2

are subshells degenerate too?

Answer 3

@Carl_Pham

Answer 4

In the H atom, yes.

Answer 5

not in other atoms? i fill the orbitals according to aufbau, paulis and hunds rule..

Answer 6

No, not in other atoms. As soon as you get electron-electron repulsion, the degeneracy of subshells is lifted.
