Chapter 15, Problem 15.16E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The statement that the maximum multiplicity term symbol is always S term symbol for half-filled subshells is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

A term symbol describes the orbital, spin and total angular momenta of an electronic state. The symbol L represents the vector sum of orbital angular momentum. The symbol S represents the vector sum of spin angular momentum. The symbol J represents the total angular momentum. Therefore, the term symbol is represented as given below.
