PHY 742 - Problem Set # 8

In class, we analyzed the atomic term energies for a multi-electron atom with an open shell configuration of p². Those results were:

where ${\cal{F}}^L$ denotes the radial integral. Consider the following entry for ⁷N⁺¹ in the Moore Tables:

Here the ``Level" energies are given in units of cm^-1 where $10^4 cm^{-1} \approx 1.2395$eV.

Use these data to estimate the value of ${\cal{F}}^2$ for ⁷N⁺¹ in the 1s² 2s² 2p² configuration.
