Chapter 15, Problem 15.28E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The term symbols of allowed excited states of the Co2+ ion with 4F9/2 electronic ground state are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A term symbol describes the orbital, spin and total angular momenta of an electronic state. The symbol L represents the vector sum of orbital angular momentum. The symbol S represents the vector sum of spin angular momentum. The symbol J represents the total angular momentum. Therefore, the term symbol is represented as given below.

2S+1LJ
