Degenerate orbitals are orbitals which have the same energy in an atom.
Orbitals with the same energy are said to be degenerate. This means they have the same potential energy and are available for electrons to occupy. Degenerate orbitals can be found in multi-electron atoms and molecules.
Orbitals of the same energy level are degenerate because they have the same amount of energy. In atoms, the energy of an orbital is determined by the principal quantum number n, so orbitals with the same n value have the same energy level. This means that electrons in degenerate orbitals have the same energy and therefore the same potential to interact with the nucleus and other electrons.
"Degenerate" in this sense means "indistinguishable" or more specifically "having the same energy." Properly speaking, the word shouldn't be used for a single orbital; it refers to the relationship between two or more orbitals. For example, in an isolated atom, the three p orbitals in a given shell are said to be degenerate, since they all have the same energy level.
To degenerate, essentially, is to get worse in a certain sense. An example sentence would be: Unfortunately, after chemotherapy, her health began to degenerate.
In quantum mechanics, degenerate states are states with the same energy level but different quantum numbers, while nondegenerate states have unique energy levels.

A triangle with no angles is called a degenerate triangle. It occurs when the three vertices are collinear, meaning they all lie on the same straight line. In a degenerate triangle, the side lengths sum up to zero.
Degenerate semiconductors have a high concentration of charge carriers due to doping, while non-degenerate semiconductors have a low concentration. Degenerate semiconductors exhibit metallic-like conductivity and Fermi level is inside the conduction or valence band, while non-degenerate semiconductors have a well-defined band gap and behave as insulators at low temperatures.
These are exists in d-orbitals only. "e" refers to doubly degenerate orbitals.It consists of two d-orbitals. "t" refers to triply degenerate levels orbitals. It consists of three d-orbitals. Degenerate means having same energy. They derive from group theory. The "g" tells you that the orbitals are gerade (german for even) - they have the same symmetry with respect to the inversion centre.
A "degenerate" is someone who "borrows" another person's genes/ becomes that person.
