Which outcome occurs when degeneracy is broken in atomic orbitals?

💡 Explanation

Spectroscopic intensity changes and peak splitting occur because electron-electron interactions or external fields lift the orbital degeneracy, causing energy levels to split via the Stark effect. Therefore discrete spectral lines arise, rather than continuous signals, even without applied fields or gradients.
