Atomic Structure and Optical Spectrum
Projects: You choose one category from the above list and write a short report to explain the atomic structure and the optical spectrum of the atoms in that category. You need to include the following contents:
(a) Show the atomic structure and explain ground states of the outermost electron shell.(b) Show at least five lowest energy levels.(c) Find all optical transition lines between 350 nm and 1000 nm) associated to the ground state. You must cite the sources of your information (handbook, journal, articles etc.)
