= Consider a deuterium atom (composed of a nucleus of spin 1 and an electron). The electronic angular momentum is J = L+S, where I is the orbital angular momentum of the electron and 5 is its spin. The total angular momentum of the atom is ♬ = J + Ī, where I is the nuclear spin. The eigenvalues of J№² and F2 are J(J+1)ħ² and F(F+1)ħ² respectively. 1. What are the possible values of the quantum numbers J and F for the deuterium atom in the 1s(L = 0) ground state? 2. What are the possible values of the quantum numbers J and F for a deuterium atom in the 2p(L = 1) excited state? = Consider a deuterium atom (composed of a nucleus of spin 1 and an electron).
