What possible values of L, S and J can result from the combination of two electrons, one with |1=1, S1=1/2 and the other with 12-2 and S2=1/2? What terms are possible? In a different coupling system, j₁ and j2 are good quantum numbers. For the same two electrons; what possible values of j₁ and j2 are there? What possible values of J, (j1, №2)J, are there? Show that for every possible value of J, there are the same number of states with that value of the overall angular momentum.
