Given below are two statements :
Statement (I): A spectral line will be observed for a $2 p_x \rightarrow 2 p_y$ transition.
Statement (II): $2 p_x$ and $2 p_y$ are degenerate orbitals.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Select the correct option:
A
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
B
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
C
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
D
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
No spectral line will be observed for a $2 \mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{x}} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{y}}$ transition because $2 p_x$ and $2 p_y$ orbitals are degenerate orbitals.
