  2. Diffuse series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_series

    These lines cause the overall line to look diffuse. The reason this happens is that both the P and D levels are split into two closely spaced energies. P is split into . D is split into . Only three of the possible four transitions can take place because the angular momentum change cannot have a magnitude greater than one.

  3. Crystal field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_field_theory

    In octahedral symmetry the d-orbitals split into two sets with an energy difference, Δ oct (the crystal-field splitting parameter, also commonly denoted by 10Dq for ten times the "differential of quanta" [3] [4]) where the d xy, d xz and d yz orbitals will be lower in energy than the d z 2 and d x 2-y 2, which will have higher energy, because ...

  4. Fine structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_structure

    However, a more accurate model takes into account relativistic and spin effects, which break the degeneracy of the energy levels and split the spectral lines. The scale of the fine structure splitting relative to the gross structure energies is on the order of ( Zα ) 2 , where Z is the atomic number and α is the fine-structure constant , a ...

  5. Energy level splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_level_splitting

    In quantum physics, energy level splitting or a split in an energy level of a quantum system occurs when a perturbation changes the system. The perturbation changes the corresponding Hamiltonian and the outcome is change in eigenvalues ; several distinct energy levels emerge in place of the former degenerate (multi- state ) level.

  6. Sharp series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharp_series

    The sharp series limit is the same as the diffuse series limit. In the late 1800s these two were termed supplementary series. In 1896 Arthur Schuster stated his law: "If we subtract the frequency of the fundamental vibration from the convergence frequency of the principal series, we obtain the convergence frequency of the supplementary series". [5]

  7. Dresselhaus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresselhaus_effect

    The effect is named after Gene Dresselhaus, who discovered this splitting in 1955. [ 1 ] Spin–orbit interaction is a relativistic coupling between the electric field produced by an ion -core and the resulting dipole moment arising from the relative motion of the electron , and its intrinsic magnetic dipole proportional to the electron spin .

  8. List of elements by atomic properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by_atomic...

    This is a list of chemical elements and their atomic properties, ordered by atomic number (Z). Since valence electrons are not clearly defined for the d-block and f-block elements, there not being a clear point at which further ionisation becomes unprofitable, a purely formal definition as number of electrons in the outermost shell has been used.

  9. Multiplicity (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity_(chemistry)

    Each has two electrons of opposite spin in the π* level so that S = 0 and the multiplicity is 2S + 1 = 1 in consequence. In the first excited state, the two π* electrons are paired in the same orbital, so that there are no unpaired electrons. In the second excited state, however, the two π* electrons occupy different orbitals with opposite spin.
