A certain atom is in the state in which S=2, the total angular momentum sqrt(2 ħ), and the magnetic moment is equal to zero. Write the spectral symbol of the corresponding term.

Answer»

SOLUTION :From `M= ħsqrt(J+1)=SQRT(2 ħ)`
we find `J=1`. From the zero value of the MAGNETIC moment we find
`g=0`
or `1+(1xx2L(L+1)+2xx3)/(2xx1xx2)=0`
`1+(-L(L+1)+8)/(4)=0`
or `12=L(L+1)`
Hence `L=3`. The STATE is
`.^(5)F_(1)`.
