A degenerate orbital comes about when there are two or more electrons that have the same spin and in the same energy level. The result is that they combine so they can occupy an electron orbital, taking turns occupying different orbitals.

The term ‘degenerate orbitals’ refers to the fact that 2 electrons of opposite spin share a single space. They do this by rotating each other around so as to line up at 180 degrees from one another — if they were spinning on their axes like tops–with one going clockwise and one going counter-clockwise. The result is an electron wave which has only tiny differences in phase, meaning it’s really remarkable how much energy differential there is for these 2 particles. It’s like 3 people rotating around each other in such a way as to share one chair.

So degenerate orbitals are not organic, as such, but they do make for transient bonds, like those found in diatomic gasses. This is because it takes very little energy to separate the 2 electrons. As a result they are found in atoms, sharing an orbital between them, which is why there are gasses that have no smell. In fact, the electron pair which forms a chemical bond is usually one of these degenerate pairs.

There are dozens of hand signs in Naruto, from the very basic (a simple thrusting motion with the palm) to extremely complicated ones.
Most of them were developed by Masashi Kishimoto for use in the manga series and differ in complexity depending on their conditions. Additionally, groups can have their own set of hand signals where different motions create different meanings. For example, among members of Akatsuki, a “cake” sign may be used to ask when they might next meet or a “snow” sign might denote meeting up at night. The signs are often repeated as semaphore possibilities exist based on what symbol is being conveyed through both hands (i.e., snow can also mean hail).
