In its ground state, carbon's 2pelectrons interact to produce jT=0. Given Hund's rule. what does this say about the total orbital angular momentum of these electrons?

The hydrogen spin-orbit interaction energy given in equation (8-25) is (μ0e2/4πmr2r3)S. L. Using a reasonable value for in terms of a0and the relationships S=32and L=ε(ℓ+1)h, show that this energy is proportional to a typical hydrogen atom energy by the factorα2 . where αis the fine structure constant.

(a) Show that, taking into account the possible z-components of J, there are a total of 12 L S coupled states corresponding to 1 s 2 p in Table 8.3.

(b) Show that this is the same number of states available to two electrons occupying 1 s and 2 p if LS coupling were ignored.
