Quantum numbers (Question 2 (10 Marks)) — UPSC Physics Optional CSE 2025 Paper II

n_1 = 6, \quad l_1 = 3, \quad s_1 = \frac{1}{2} n_2 = 5, \quad l_2 = 1, \quad s_2 = \frac{1}{2} The quantum numbers of two electrons in a two-valence electron atom are n_1 = 6, \quad l_1 = 3, \quad s_1 = \frac{1}{2} n_2 = 5, \quad l_2 = 1, \quad s_2 = \frac{1}{2} Assuming L\text{-}S coupling, find the possible values of L and J.
