Degenerate atomic orbitals have :

Answer:

Degenerate atomic orbitals have equal energy in the absence of a magnetic field.

Explanation:

Degenerate orbitals are orbitals within the same subshell (e.g., p, d, f orbitals) that have the same energy level under normal conditions. However, in the presence of a magnetic or electric field, this degeneracy can be lifted, causing the orbitals to have different energies (a phenomenon known as splitting). Without such external fields, their energy remains equal.
