Paper: CSIR-NET June 2011 · Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Statistical Thermodynamics · Topic: Maxwell Boltzmann · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium

The term symbol for the ground state of nitrogen atoms is

(a)${ }^{3} \mathrm{P}_{0}$

(b)${ }^{4} \mathrm{P}_{3 / 2}$

(c)${ }^{1} \mathrm{P}_{1}$

(d)${ }^{4} \mathrm{S}_{3 / 2}$

Answer

Answer: A ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high

Explanation

σ = √(3RT/M − 8RT/πM) = √(0.453RT/M) ≈ 0.67√(RT/M) ≈ 0.7√(RT/M) (a).
