Question:
A carbon atom has a 1s2 2s2 2p2 electron configuration. The various ways of filling the 2p orbitals lead to 15 microstates that can be grouped into three terms: 1D, 3P, and 1S.
(a) Determine the value of L and S for each term and the number of microstates associated with each term.
(b) What are the allowed values of the total angular momentum quantum number J for each term?
(c) What is the energy order predicted by Hund’s rules for the various (2S+1)LJ terms?
