Expert Solution

Ans- atomic number of phosphorous is 15

₁₅P= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³ (electronic configuration)

For p3 : L = 0, S = 3/2, the term 4 S has J = 3/2 only (|L+S| = |L–S|). Therefore, the ground state is 4 S_3/2.

, For a p3 configuration there are three terms: 4 S, 2 D, and 2 P. The J values for each of these are determined below. For 4 S: L = 0, S = 3/2 ; Because J = L + S, L + S – 1, …|L – S|, the quantum number J can only be 3/2 and there is a single state for 4 S: 4 S_3/2 For 2 D: L = 2, S = 1/2. Possible J values are 5/2 and 3/2, and the two possible states are 2 D_5/2 and 2 D_3/2. For 2 P: L = 1, S = 1/2. Possible J values are 3/2 and 1/2, with states 2 P_3/2 and 2 P_1/2. The lowest energy state is 4 S_3/2 (highest multiplicity). 2 D_5/2 and 2 D_3/2 are next, at 19233.18 and 19224.46 cm–1, and 2 P_3/2 and 2 P_1/2 are the highest energy at 28838.92 and 28839.31 cm–1.
