I suspect the word you're looking for is "degenerate."

Does an electron have the same amount of enery in all orbitals?
All of the orbitals in the same energy sublevel (s, p, d, f) have the same amount of energy. For example, each of the 3p orbitals have the same energy and all of the electrons in the 3p orbitals have the same energy.
Why does the s orbitals fill before the p orbitals?
The s orbital is lower in energy than the porbital.
The order in which atomic orbitals are filled is based on what factor?
It is based on many factors, but the easiest to understand is ENERGY. The orbitals in which the electron has the lowest energy are filled FIRST.
Which is the lowest energy level that contains d orbitals?
The lowest energy level that has F orbitals is the fourth energy level. The Atomic orbital of any atom only contains 2 electrons.
In what orders do electrons fill orbitals?
Electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing orbital energy. The exact order of these energy levels is shown at the related link below.
Does an electron have the same amount of enery in all orbitals?
All of the orbitals in the same energy sublevel (s, p, d, f) have the same amount of energy. For example, each of the 3p orbitals have the same energy and all of the electrons in the 3p orbitals have the same energy.
What is degenerating orbitals?
Degenerate orbitals are orbitals which have the same energy in an atom.
What is a degenerate d-orbital?
"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.
Why are orbitals of the same energy level degenerate?
The reason that orbitals of the same energy level degeneracy is due to similar molecular structure. The orbitals contains electrons that cancel each other out.
All of the orbitals in a subshell have the same energy?
Orbitals having the same first two quantum numbers are degenerate ... they have the same energy ... in the absence of a magnetic field.So all 1s orbitals in a given atom have the same energy, all 3d orbitals in a given atom have the same energy, etc.In a magnetic field, the spin degeneracy is removed, so that "spin up" and "spin down" electrons have different energies, even if they're in the same orbital.
If Assuming all orbitals are the same in energy level which type of orbital has the lowest energy?
The s orbital has the lowest energy level.
Why are 2s and 2p orbitals at same energy?
The 2s and2p orbitals are on the same energy because for higher elements more protons in the nucleus and hence electrons go closer to the nucleus and as the distance decreases the magnitude of energy increases.
How do p orbitals at the same energy level differ from one another?
d
What is the maximum number of spdf in chemistry?
The number of orbitals in electron shells are: One s orbital three p orbitals 5 d orbitals 7 f orbitals every shell has an s orbital, only shells 2 and above have p orbitals, only shells 3 and above have d orbitals only shells 4 and above have f orbitals. Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Level by level the orbitals 1s (one) 2s, 2p(three) 3s, 3p, 3d (five) 4s, 4p, 4d 4f(seven) In a shell where they are possible, all three p orbitals have the same energy, all 5 d orbitals have the same energy and all seven f orbitals have the same energy. I do not like the idea of saying there is a maximum-- an orbital is a solution to the energy levels in a hydrogen atom. You simply cannot have less than 3 p orbitals for instance.
What is the largest number of d orbitals that can exist within the same energy sublevel?
5
Is electrons the only thing arranged in various energy levels or orbitals or are protons arranged the same way?
There are nuclear energy levels, but they're not "the same" as the electronic energy levels.
Explain the relationship between electrons orbitals and energy levels?
Briefly:The electrons are in orbitals, each orbital can take two electrons and each electron would have an opposite spin. Orbitals can have no electrons, one electron or be filled with two electrons.Orbitals are arranged in energy levels. However, even in the same energy level different orbitals will have different energy despite being in the same main energy level.The energy level nearest the nucleus has 1 orbital: 1sThe next energy level, the second energy level has four orbitals: 2s and three p orbitals. The 2p orbitals have more energy than the 2s orbital. The third energy level has 3s x1; 3p x 3 and 3d x 5 however, the 3d orbitals have an energy which actually places them in the fourth energy level between 4s and 4p. It gets complicated.
