Recorded sources
no sources on either side

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that electrons can transition between orbitals within the same shell?

Electrons routinely transition between orbitals within the same principal shell, such as d-d transitions in transition metal complexes or intrashell excitations in atoms, which is a standard concept of quantum mechanics and atomic physics requiring no external citation.

The analysis

The claim states that electrons can transition between orbitals within the same shell (e.g., d-d transitions, intrashell transitions). This is a foundational, well-established principle of atomic and molecular orbital theory that represents basic scientific knowledge. Consequently, it falls under common knowledge and does not require specific paper citations to be verified.
