The Configurations 3d 4p in Doubly Ionized Atoms of the Iron Group
1McGill University, Montreal, Canada.
Abstract:
Experimental levels of the configurations 3d 4p in the third spectra of the iron group were compared with corresponding calculated values. Besides the electrostatic and spin-orbit interactions the αL(L + 1), βQ and T corrections were considered in the individual and general treatments. The insertion of the parameters β and T improved the results by about 25 percent. The root-mean-square (rms) error on fitting 581 experimental levels by means of 21 free interaction parameters was 138 cm-1. Altogether 912 energy levels were predicted.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
