29. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. 4
All orbitals of a particular subshell have the same energy in the absence of a magnetic field.
Three p- orbitals i.e. px, py , pz have the same energy. Similarly, all the five d- orbital of a
particular shell e.g 3dyz ,3dxy, 3dxz, 3dx2-y2, dz2 have the same energy. These orbitals of the same
subshell having equal energy are called degenerate orbitals. In the presence of external
magnetic fields, the degeneracy of such orbitals is destroyed and these orbitals acquire slightly
different energy. Thus, in the presence of an external magnetic field, spectral lines take place
called Zeeman effect. Number of lines obtained after splitting is equal to (2l+1) where l
represents azimuthal quantum number. For every value of l; there are (2l+ 1) values of
magnetic quantum number ml. Magnetic quantum numbers characterise the orientation of the
atomic orbital in three-dimensional space. Magnetic quantum number assumes all integral
values between -l to +l including zero.
