Abstract
The graphical method of boxes-and-arrows is usually used to describe electronic states and spin-orbit coupling in atoms. This method, as it stands, can only be applied to light atoms (i.e., LS-coupling). We present an analogous method that can be applied to heavy atoms (i.e., the case of jj-coupling). The use of the same graphical method emphasizes the same physical nature of energy terms in both light and heavy atoms.

Hugo Orofino and Roberto B. FariaJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (12), 1451-1454A systematic procedure is developed to obtain the electron angular momentum coupling (jj) spectroscopic terms, which is based on building microstates in which each individual electron is placed in a different mj “orbital”. This approach is similar to that ...
