← ScienceWhich consequence results when the degeneracy of electronic wave functions is lifted?
A)Energy levels split within spectrum✓
B)Electron spin becomes perfectly aligned
C)Orbital hybridization is entirely suppressed
D)Quantum entanglement links distant atoms
💡 Explanation
When degeneracy is lifted (e.g., by a magnetic field), states with formerly identical energies diverge due to the Zeeman Effect; therefore, spectral lines split and form multiplets, rather than entanglement, because Zeeman effects concerns electron energy levels rather than electron correlation directly.
