The electronic configuration of iron, 26 Fe, is 1s22s22p63s23p63d64s². There are 6 electrons in the outermost, partially-filled sub-shell 3d. . What are the allowed values of the total spin S for iron? What are the possible values of the total orbital angular momentum L when the spin multiplicity is maximized?
Electronic Transitions and Spectroscopy
The term “electronic” connotes electron, and the term “transition” implies transformation. In a molecule, the electrons move from a lower to a higher energy state due to excitation. The two energy states, the ground state and the excited state are the lowest and the highest energy states, respectively. An energy change is observed with this transition, which depicts the various data related to the molecule.
Photoelectron Spectroscopy
Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is a part of experimental chemistry. It is a technique used in laboratories that involves projecting intense beams of radiation on a sample element. In response, the element ejects electrons for which the relative energies are measured.
