contents Incidental degeneracy and metallic character is probed for weakly coupled plasmas in free and confined environments. The generality of incidental degeneracy in quantum mechanical systems is discussed and demonstrated. It is a fundamental property of free and confined quantum systems. In plasmas, at a given $n, \ell$state there exists $\frac{(n-\ell)(n-\ell+1)}{2}$ number of incidental degenerate states. Such degeneracy condition involves shell confinement model, where a particleis encaged inside two concentric sphere. Apart from that, Dipole oscillator strength and polarizability are examined in free and confined conditions for ground and some low-lying $\ell$ states. In excited states, negative $α^{(1)}$ is recorded. Further, metallic behavior of H-like plasmas is investigated. The impact of external static electric field on these degeneracy, dipole OS, dipole polarizability are examined with utmost interest. Pilot calculation are done with, (i) Debye plasmas and, (ii) Exponential screened coulomb potentials employing the Generalized pseudo-spectral (GPS) method.
