Question

Question:Which of the subshells described in the previous question contain degenerate orbitals? How many degenerateorbitals are in each?

Short answer

d orbital and f orbital can generate multiple orientations. d orbital can have 5 orientations and f orbital can have 7 orientations.

Step-by-step solution

describing which of the subshell described in the previous question contain degenerate orbitals  

From the previous question,

n = 3, l = 2 representsd orbitals

n = 1, l = 0 represents s orbitals

n = 4, l = 3 represents f orbitals

Among these, d orbital and f orbital can generate multiple orientations.

describe how many degenerate orbitals are there in each

As in the previous step, the d orbital and f orbital can generate multiple orientations.

d orbital can have 5 orientations and f orbital can have 7 orientations.
