Problem- consider the neon atom in all possible n+1, l-1 excited states that relax down to the ground state and emit light in the process. (a) Write the atomic term symbol for each of these states including the ground state (hint, use the Clebsch-Gordon series, there should be 8 total term symbols). Show your work in how you arrive at these term symbols. (b) Draw an energy level diagram showing decay of these states to the ground state by listing them in the proper order of there energies and indicate which states are allowed transitions by using an arrow to show the decay of energy from one state to the next. This is a qualitative exercise, no need to look up the values or draw the energy levels accurately - just the proper order of energy
You must show your work in an efficient manner so I can understand it in clearly
