3. These questions involve term symbols and associated wavefunctions. a. Obtain term symbols for the configuration (ns)1(nd)1 and (ns)2(nd)1. b. Order the terms according to Hund's rules for both cases. c. The configuration (np)1(mp)1n=m has a total degeneracy of 36 (i.e. 36 unique wavefunctions). i. Using Hund's rules as a guide, determine the term symbol for the lowest energy state. Include all J-states. ii. Determine the total degeneracy of these terms using both methods ( J-states and orbital/spin angular momentum). iii. Now construct a table like we did in class that only includes those electron configurations (space and spin) that lead to these J-states. Hint: think about the orbital angular momenta first and then adjust the spin of the electrons (i.e. up or down) that lead to the desired J-states. You know how many total configurations there are by the degeneracy of these states. iv. When you construct this table write the MJ values below your MS and ML values as a guide to construct the wavefunctions. v. Now write the total wavefunctions for the J - states with the largest value of J. Remember they all must obey the Pauli principle
