Most popular questions from this chapter

As is done for helium in Table 8.3, determine for a carbon atom the various states allowed according to LS coupling. The coupling is between carbon's two 2p electrons (its filled 2s subshell not participating), one or which always remains in the 2p state. Consider cases in which the other is as high as the 3d level. (Note: Well both electrons are in the 2p, the exclusion principle restricts the number of states. The only allowed states are those in whichandlT are both even or both odd).
