PHY 742 - Problem Set # 7

Consider the atomic structure of Ti (1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d²).

1.

Enumerate all of the electronic ``terms" and predict the ground state of the basis of Hund's Rules.

2.

Using the Clebsch-Gordon and Gaunt coefficients from the computer programs, evaluate the term energies in terms of the ${\cal{F}}^L$ and ${\cal{G}}^L$ integrals.
