The allowed electronic transition in fluorine molecule is

(a)$\Sigma_{g}^{+} \rightarrow \Sigma_{g}^{+}$

(b)$\Sigma_{g}^{+} \rightarrow \Sigma_{g}^{+}$

(c)$\Sigma_{g}^{+} \rightarrow \pi_{u}$

(d)$\Sigma_{g}^{+} \rightarrow \Delta_{u}$

Answer

Answer: C ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high

Explanation

From the ¹Σg⁺ ground state of F₂, only ¹Σg⁺ → ¹Πu satisfies g↔u and ΔΛ = ±1 (c).
