Chapter 16, Problem 16.7E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The allowed electronic transitions for a ${}^{\text{1}}\text{P}{\to }^{\text{1}}\text{D}$ transition are to be drawn and labeled. The number of total allowed transitions and the individual transitions that overlap each line in the spectrum are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The phenomenon of splitting of a spectral line when a magnetic field is applied to it is known as Zeeman Effect. Magnetic field strength can be measured by using the Zeeman Effect. Applications of Zeeman Effect include NMR spectroscopy, MRI and electron spin resonance spectroscopy.

During an electronic transition, an electron from ground state moves straight to the excited state keeping the internuclear distance constant.
