1. Compute the possible terms and energy levels for a configuration with three optically
active electrons 2p, 3p, 4d.

2. What kind of Zeeman effect, normal or anomalous, is observed in a weak magnetic field in the
case of spectral lines caused by the following transitions:
(a) 1P → 1S; (b) 2D3/2 → 2P3/2; (c) 3D1 → 3Po; (d) 5I5 → 5H4

3. Calculate the Landé g factor for an atom with a single (a) s electron, (b) p electron, (c) d electron
and for 4D1/2 and 5F1, 6F1/2 and 8G1/2. Comment on this.

4. Two levels in an atom whose nuclear spin is I = 3, have the designations 2D3/2 and 2P1/2. Find
the expected number of components in the hyperfine structure of the corresponding spectral
line.

5. Draw the Paschen-Back pattern for 3S1 ← 3P0,1,2 transitions.
