what is the ground state term symbol of uranium
The ground state electron configuration of uranium is [Rn] 5f36d17s2
Therefore, S = 2 and 2S+1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5
J = 6
Atomic term symbol is 2S+1LJ = 5L6 [ Here, L = total orbital angular momentum
2S+1 = Multiplicity of the term
J = Total angular momentum ]
