Consider another subset of the configurations of atomic cesium below along with their spin-orbit splitting, the...
This is quantum chemistry. Please explain your answer.
(c). The spin-orbit splitting also decreases as the orbital angular momentum of the electron increases, especially when considered for the same value of n: Configuration and Term Spin-orbit splitting [ )6p1, 2P,-| 554.04 cm" L.J6gG 0.0016 cm Why does the spin-orbital splitting decrease so markedly as & increases? [Again, remember that spin-orbit 42.87 cm splitting is a relativistic effect, which becomes larger as the speed of the electron approaches the speed of...
