Chapter 2, Problem 33Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason that explanation of the line spectra of polyelectronic atoms and ions is harder than the line spectra of hydrogen and hydrogen like ions is to be given.

Concept introduction:

The spectral lines represent those lines where transitions between two energy levels take place. These lines give explanation of electronic transition. Less the electronic transition less will be spectral line complication and vice-versa.

To determine: The reason that explanation of the line spectra of polyelectronic atoms and ions is harder than the line spectra of hydrogen and hydrogen like ions.
