Re: degeneracy in quantum numbers
Degeneracy means that the first two quantum numbers are the same and that the orbitals are equivalent.
e.g. 2px, 2py, 2pz
e.g. 2px, 2py, 2pz

Re: degeneracy in quantum numbers
Degenerate orbitals mean that the electrons within the orbital contain the same energy level.

Re: degeneracy in quantum numbers
So the s block has one degeneracy, the p block has 3, the d block has 5 and the f block has 10
