Step by step solution

01

describing which of the subshell described in the previous question contain degenerate orbitals  

From the previous question,

n = 2, l = 1 representsp orbitals

n = 4, l = 2 represents d orbitals

n = 6, l = 0 represents s orbitals

Among these, p orbital and d orbital can generate multiple orientations.

02

describing how many degenerate orbitals are there in each

As in the previous step, the p orbital and d orbital can generate multiple orientations.

p orbital can have 3 orientations and d orbital can have 5 orientations.
