letter ________.
Answer: l
LO: 6.5
GO: G2
5) All of the subshells in a given shell have the same energy in the hydrogen atom. In a many-electron
atom, the subshells in a given shell do not have the same energy. Why?
Answer: Hydrogen atoms have only one electron. Therefore, in a hydrogen atom, the energy of orbitals
depends only on n. In many-electron atoms, electron-electron repulsion causes the energies of subshells
in a given shell to differ.
