Which outcome follows when modeling electron behavior using approximate wave functions?

A)Energy level degeneracy is artificially lifted.
B)Precise orbital shapes remain definitively known.
C)Electron spin becomes entirely irrelevant.
D)Heisenberg uncertainty violations routinely occur.

💡 Explanation

Using less rigorously solved wave functions means approximations introduce errors; the *perturbation theory* causes initially degenerate energy levels to split, because imperfect solutions treat states unequally. Therefore, degeneracy lifts rather than shapes precisely retaining or spin becoming irrelevant.
