Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The terms that may arise from the given electronic configuration has to be identified.
Concept-Introduction:
Clebsch–Gordan series:
The plausible values of quantum number L can be calculated using orbital
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of states are present in lowest energy level has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Total angular momentum quantum number: The total angular momentum being the vector sum of the orbital and the spin angular momenta. The possible values of J (a positive number) are found by forming the series
