Explain the question: Identify the quantum numbers that define degenerate orbitals in a
multi-electron system.
Concept: Orbital degeneracy and the (n + ℓ) rule for energy.
Solution:
Degenerate orbitals are defined as orbitals belonging to the same atom that possess identical
energy levels. In hydrogen-like (singleelectron) systems, energy depends solely on the
principal quantum number (n).
However, in multi-electron systems, the energy is determined by both the principal quantum
number (n) and the azimuthal quantum number (ℓ), according to the (n + ℓ) rule.
Therefore, for orbitals to be degenerate in a multi-electron atom, they must reside within the
same subshell. Since all orbitals in a specific subshell share the same values for n and ℓ and
differ only in their magnetic quantum number (m), the requirement for degeneracy is that both
n and ℓ must be the same.
For instance, all three 2p orbitals are degenerate because they all have n = 2 and ℓ = 1.

Solution:

A. Correct. IE2(Na) removes a stable 2p6 core electron, requiring massive energy. IE2(Mg)
removes a 3s1 valence electron, requiring much less energy.

B. Correct. EA(N) is near zero due to high electron repulsion in its small, stable 2p3 orbital.
EA(P) is exothermic as the 3p orbital is larger, reducing repulsion.

C. Incorrect. Mg2+ (12 protons) has a much higher nuclear charge than Li+ (3 protons),
pulling its electrons in tighter and making it smaller.

D. Incorrect. IE1(Mg) > IE1(Al) because Mg has a stable, filled 3s2 orbital.

Final Answer: (AB).
