Dear jahnvi
Thanks for asking us a question in Ask the Expert section of TopperLearning.com.
We cannot entertain more than 5 questions in a subject per day. In case of multiple questions within a query, please post each question individually and let us know where you are getting stuck so that we would be able to explain things better.
Solution for your first query,
- All px , py and pz have the same value of principle quantum number.
- That means all the three belong to the same energy level.
- They both have the same value of “l”.
- According to Aufbau Principle, energy of an orbital is determined by the formula (n+l).
- Since, all the three orbitals have the same value for this, they have the same energy.
