Russell Saunders Atomic Terms for f-Orbital Configurations. Methodology for Obtaining Russell Saunders Terms for f-Orbital Configurations

      Аннотация: Russell Saunders atomic terms are important to investigate the atomic structure in atomic physics, quantum chemistry, structural chemistry, and used to describe the electronic transitions that produce the line spectra of the atoms. Obtaining the LS coupled terms and assigning them symbols for f-orbital configuration is cumbersome process. This book, therefore, describes a simple method of obtaining Russell Saunders atomic terms for f-orbital configuration, which will make LS coupled terms more popular in chemistry students and chemistry text books and the students will gain a better understanding of the concept of atomic terms, and these terms will be helpful to understand and describe the atomic and electronic spectra.
