Hostgator is a huge privately possessed hosting company running from several state of the art facilities in Dallas, Texas. Hostgator was founded in 2002, ever since they have actually grown rapidly and currently host over 400,000 internet sites. They are also widely considered to be the worlds leading service provider of reseller hosting accounts. At present they provide hosting to over 10,000 specific reseller account consumers.<br><br>Hostgator provides many different web hosting bundles, and deal with a broad variety of clients. From the first time web designer who needs easy, stress complimentary hosting for their personal website; all the way with to huge corporations, who require specialist committed hosting services.<br><br>Hostgator's hosting plans can be split into three groups; conventional shared hosting plans (ideal for the huge bulk people), reseller hosting strategies (these are mainly for individuals and businesses that wish to "resell" their account resources to consumers of their own), and lastly committed server strategies (these accounts offer consumer their own server, so they do not have to share its resources with anyone else). Extremely few of us will every require a dedicated server so this testimonial will focus on the shared hosting strategies that Hostgator offer.<br><br>Features<br><br>Hostgator's three major shared hosting strategies are named: "Hatchling" (the entry level strategy priced at $6.95 / month), "Infant" (this is the most popular plan, and it is most likely to please the requirements of an extremely large range of customers), and "Swamp" (much the exact same as the "Infant" plan, but with increases in bandwidth and disk space, priced at $14.95 / month).<br><br>For a complete list of features and a side by side comparison of all hosting strategies you ought to see Hostgator's website here. Below is an evaluation of the most important features of the "Child" strategy, this is probably the most suitable package for the majority of individuals, and it is our favored plan.<br><br>Disk area 100GB - This quantity has been just recently upgraded by Hostgator from 5GB to a huge 100GB. All individuals are most likely to find it impossible to exhaust this quantity of disk space.<br><br>Bandwidth 1000GB/month - Also increased is the bandwidth allotment, from 75GB to a relatively extreme 1000GB. Once again basically absolutely no possibility of making use of all that, but it's good to understand that you definitely will not be facing additional fees for going over your restriction, even if you have an extremely hectic website(s).<br><br>Website Studio website builder - This is an excellent free of cost program that enables you to construct your internet site from scratch. There is no demand to take my word for it, as Hostgator offers us with a demo version of the software application on their website!<br><br>Endless add-on domains - This actually is the stand out feature of this hosting plan (the "Hatchling" strategy only permits 1 domain), and allows you to host as numerous websites as you like on a single account, at no extra cost. This permits you to make complete use of your enormous bandwidth and disk space allowances, and host numerous internet sites at a portion of the regular expense.<br><br>99.9 % Uptime assurance - This essentially informs us that Hostgator is a significant host providing a reputable service. If uptime drops below this figure in any provided month then you don't pay for that months hosting, it's as easy as that! We would never ever think about making use of a host that did not offer a strong uptime guarantee; this is simply due to the fact that there is only one good reason a host will not offer an uptime assurance - unreliable uptime!<br><br>30 Day money back guarantee - This has become a pretty conventional attribute in the hosting area, though it's good to have for included comfort.<br><br>Immediate setup - A lot of hosting carriers take 24-48 hours to setup your account however Hostgator promises to have you up and running in under 15 minutes (they do not charge a setup fee either)!<br><br>Limitless MySQL data sources - This is very beneficial due to the fact that each Fantastico (see below) script requires its own MySQL database.<br><br>Fantastico DeLuxe - This remarkable program permits you to instantaneously set up over 50 scripts through your control panel. Scripts consist of blog sites, online forums, galleries, buying carts, and more.<br><br>Endless e-mail accounts - Allows you to have as many, or as couple of, various email addresses as you such as.<br><br>It includes numerous features and offers great performance. Best of all, there is a full working demo on the Hostgator site, so you can test it out yourself!<br><br>Customer care and technical support<br><br>Hostgator gives us 24/7 phone support, and live online talk. The truth that you are provided two choices to receive immediate technical support at any time of the day is fantastic. Our experience has constantly been really great when speaking to Hostgator, their operatives are very polite and most notably they appear to know their stuff when dealing with technical concerns. However, we always recommend contacting them yourself prior to signing up. Ask them a concern and see if you're thrilled by their response. This constantly informs you a lot about a company!<br><br>Performance<br><br>The performance from Hostgator's servers is exceptional! Hostgator location much tighter restrictions on the variety of internet sites sharing the exact same server compared to most various other shared hosting providers. This gives greater dependability due to the fact that less pressure is placed on the servers; and it likewise considerably enhances the speed at which your websites run.<br><br>Server efficiency is another one of the vital areas where Hostgator identify themselves from the group of various other internet hosts.<br><br>Our judgment<br><br>Overall there is so much to such as about the means [https://www.Youtube.com/results?search_query=Hostgator,creativecommons Hostgator] does company, they actually do appear to have an excellent grasp on exactly what the average customer needs from an internet hosting company. Rarely do you come across reports of unsatisfied Hostgator clients, and after hosting with them ourselves we now know why! At just $9.95 / month for the "Child" strategy (which consists of limitless domains); anyone looking to host more than one website has a rather easy choice to make. |

Many authors begin using Greek letters at this point (<math>\alpha,\beta, \gamma,</math> ...). The occasions for which such notation is necessary are few and far between, however.</ref>
| |

| |
| | |
| The nomenclature (''S'', ''P'', ''D'', ''F'') is derived from the characteristics of the spectroscopic lines corresponding to (''s'', ''p'', ''d'', ''f'') orbitals: sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental; the rest being named in alphabetical order. When used to describe electron states in an atom, the term symbol usually follows the [[electron configuration]]. For example, one low-lying energy level of the [[carbon]] atom state is written as 1''s''<sup>2</sup>2''s''<sup>2</sup>2''p''<sup>2</sup><sup> 3</sup>''P''<sub>2</sub>. The superscript 3 indicates that the spin state is a triplet, and therefore ''S'' = 1 (2''S'' + 1 = 3), the ''P'' is spectroscopic notation for ''L'' = 1, and the subscript 2 is the value of ''J''. Using the same notation, the [[ground state]] of carbon is 1''s''<sup>2</sup>2''s''<sup>2</sup>2''p''<sup>2</sup><sup> 3</sup>''P''<sub>0</sub>.<ref name=NIST>[http://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/ASD/levels_form.html NIST Atomic Spectrum Database] To read the carbon atom levels, type "C I" in the Spectrum box and click on Retrieve data. In this database, neutral atoms are identified as I, singly ionized atoms as II, etc.</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Others==
| |
| | |
| The term symbol is also used to describe compound systems such as [[meson]]s or atomic nuclei, or even molecules (see [[molecular term symbol]]). In that last case, Greek letters are used to designate the (molecular) orbital angular momenta.
| |
| | |
| For a given electron configuration
| |
| * The combination of an ''S'' value and an ''L'' value is called a '''term''', and has a statistical weight (i.e., number of possible microstates) of (2''S''+1)(2''L''+1);
| |
| * A combination of ''S'', ''L'' and ''J'' is called a '''level'''. A given level has a statistical weight of (2''J''+1), which is the number of possible microstates associated with this level in the corresponding term;
| |
| * A combination of ''L'', ''S'', ''J'' and ''M<sub>J</sub>'' determines a single '''state'''.
| |
| As an example, for ''S'' = 1, ''L'' = 2, there are (2×1+1)(2×2+1) = 15 different microstates corresponding to the <sup>3</sup>''D'' term, of which (2×3+1) = 7 belong to the <sup>3</sup>''D''<sub>3</sub> (J = 3) level. The sum of (2''J''+1) for all levels in the same term equals (2''S''+1)(2''L''+1). In this case, ''J'' can be 1, 2, or 3, so 3 + 5 + 7 = 15.
| |
| | |
| ==Term symbol parity==
| |
| The parity of a term symbol is calculated as
| |
| :<math>P=(-1)^{\sum_i l_i}\ ,\!</math>
| |
| where ''l<sub>i</sub>'' is the orbital quantum number for each electron. In fact, only electrons in odd orbitals contribute to the total parity: an odd number of electrons in odd orbitals (those with an odd ''l'' such as in p, f,...) will make an odd term symbol, while an even number of electrons in odd orbitals will make an even term symbol, irrespective of the number of electrons in even orbitals.
| |
| | |
| When it is odd, the parity of the term symbol is indicated by a superscript letter "o", otherwise it is omitted:
| |
| :<sup>2</sup>P{{su|p=o|b=½}} has odd parity, but <sup>3</sup>P<sub>0</sub> has even parity.
| |
| | |
| Alternatively, parity may be indicated with a subscript letter "g" or "u", standing for ''gerade'' (German for "even") or ''ungerade'' ("odd"):
| |
| :<sup>2</sup>P<sub>½,u</sub> for odd parity, and <sup>3</sup>P<sub>0,g</sub> for even.
| |
| | |
| ==Ground state term symbol==
| |
| It is relatively easy to calculate the term symbol for the ground state of an atom using [[List of Hund's rules|Hund's rules]]. It corresponds with a state with maximal ''S'' and ''L''.
| |
| #Start with the most stable [[electron configuration]]. Full shells and subshells do not contribute to the overall [[angular momentum]], so they are discarded.
| |
| #*If all shells and subshells are full then the term symbol is <sup>1</sup>''S''<sub>0</sub>.
| |
| #Distribute the electrons in the available [[atomic orbital|orbital]]s, following the [[Pauli exclusion principle]]. First, fill the orbitals with highest [[magnetic quantum number|''m<sub>l</sub>'']] value with one electron each, and assign a maximal [[spin quantum number|''m<sub>s</sub>'']] to them (i.e. +½). Once all orbitals in a subshell have one electron, add a second one (following the same order), assigning {{nowrap|''m<sub>s</sub>'' {{=}} −½}} to them.
| |
| #The overall ''S'' is calculated by adding the ''m<sub>s</sub>'' values for each electron. That is the same as multiplying ½ times the number of '''unpaired''' electrons. The overall ''L'' is calculated by adding the ''m<sub>l</sub>'' values for each electron (so if there are two electrons in the same orbital, add twice that orbital's ''m<sub>l</sub>'').
| |
| #Calculate [[total angular momentum quantum number|''J'']] as
| |
| #*if less than half of the subshell is occupied, take the minimum value {{nowrap|''J'' {{=}} {{!}}''L'' - ''S''{{!}}}};
| |
| #*if more than half-filled, take the maximum value {{nowrap|''J'' {{=}} ''L'' + ''S''}};
| |
| #*if the subshell is half-filled, then ''L'' will be 0, so {{nowrap|''J'' {{=}} ''S''}}.
| |
| | |
| As an example, in the case of [[fluorine]], the electronic configuration is 1s<sup>2</sup>2s<sup>2</sup>2p<sup>5</sup>.
| |
| | |
| 1. Discard the full subshells and keep the 2p<sup>5</sup> part. So there are five electrons to place in subshell p ({{nowrap|''l'' {{=}} 1}}).
| |
| | |
| 2. There are three orbitals ({{nowrap|''m<sub>l</sub>'' {{=}} 1, 0, −1}}) that can hold up to {{nowrap|2(2''l'' + 1) {{=}} 6 electrons}}. The first three electrons can take {{nowrap|''m<sub>s</sub>'' {{=}} ½ (↑)}} but the Pauli exclusion principle forces the next two to have {{nowrap|''m<sub>s</sub>'' {{=}} −½ (↓)}} because they go to already occupied orbitals.

| |
| | |
| 4. As fluorine 2p subshell is more than half filled, {{nowrap|''J'' {{=}} ''L'' + ''S'' {{=}} <small>{{frac|3|2}}</small>}}. Its ground state term symbol is then {{nowrap|<sup>2''S''+1</sup>''L''<sub>''J''</sub> {{=}} <sup>2</sup>P<sub>{{frac|3|2}}</sub>}}.
| |
| | |
| ==Term symbols for an electron configuration==
| |
| To calculate all possible term symbols for a given [[electron configuration]] the process is a bit longer.
| |
| | |
| * First, calculate the total number of possible microstates ''N'' for a given electron configuration. As before, we discard the filled (sub)shells, and keep only the partially filled ones. For a given orbital quantum number ''l'', t is the maximum allowed number of electrons, {{nowrap|''t'' {{=}} 2(2''l''+1)}}. If there are ''e'' electrons in a given subshell, the number of possible microstates is
| |
| ::<math>N= {t \choose e} = {t! \over {e!\,(t-e)!}}.</math>
| |
| | |
| :As an example, lets take the [[carbon]] electron structure: 1s<sup>2</sup>2s<sup>2</sup>2p<sup>2</sup>. After removing full subshells, there are 2 electrons in a p-level ({{nowrap|''l'' {{=}} 1}}), so we have
| |
| ::<math>N = {6! \over {2!\,4!}}=15</math>
| |
| :different microstates.
| |
| | |
| * Second, draw all possible microstates. Calculate ''M<sub>L</sub>'' and ''M<sub>S</sub>'' for each microstate, with <math>M=\sum_{i=1}^e m_i</math> where ''m<sub>i</sub>'' is either ''m<sub>l</sub>'' or ''m<sub>s</sub>'' for the ''i''-th electron, and ''M'' represents the resulting ''M<sub>L</sub>'' or ''M<sub>S</sub>'' respectively:

| * Fourth, extract smaller tables representing each possible term. Each table will have the size (2''L''+1) by (2''S''+1), and will contain only "1"s as entries. The first table extracted corresponds to ''M<sub>L</sub>'' ranging from −2 to +2 (so {{nowrap|''L'' {{=}} 2}}), with a single value for ''M<sub>S</sub>'' (implying {{nowrap|''S'' {{=}} 0}}). This corresponds to a <sup>1</sup>D term. The remaining table is 3×3. Then we extract a second table, removing the entries for ''M<sub>L</sub>'' and ''M<sub>S</sub>'' both ranging from −1 to +1 (and so {{nowrap|''S'' {{=}} ''L'' {{=}} 1}}, a <sup>3</sup>P term). The remaining table is a 1×1 table, with {{nowrap|''L'' {{=}} ''S'' {{=}} 0}}, i.e., a <sup>1</sup>S term.

| * Fifth, applying [[List of Hund's rules|Hund's rules]], deduce which is the ground state (or the lowest state for the configuration of interest.) Hund's rules should not be used to predict the order of states other than the lowest for a given configuration. (See examples at [[Hund's rules#Excited states]].)
| |
| | |
| * If only two equivalent electrons are involved, there is an "Even Rule" which states
| |
| : For two equivalent electrons the only states that are allowed are those for which the sum (L + S) is even.
| |
| | |
| ===Case of three equivalent electrons===
| |
| * For three equivalent electrons (with the same orbital quantum number ''l''), there is also a general formula (denoted by ''X(L,S,l)'' below) to count the number of any allowed terms with total orbital quantum number "L" and total total spin quantum number "S".
| |
| <math>X(L,S,l)=
| |
| \begin{cases}
| |
| L-\lfloor\frac{L}{3}\rfloor, & \text{if }S=1/2\text{ and } 0\leq L <l\\
| |
| l-\lfloor\frac{L}{3}\rfloor, & \text{if }S=1/2\text{ and } l\leq L \leq 3l-1 \\
| |
| \lfloor \frac{L}{3}\rfloor -\lfloor \frac{L-l}{2} \rfloor +\lfloor \frac{L-l+1}{2} \rfloor, & \text{if }S=3/2\text{ and } 0\leq L <l \\
| |
| \lfloor \frac{L}{3} \rfloor -\lfloor \frac{L-l}{2} \rfloor, & \text{if }S=3/2\text{ and } l\leq L \leq 3l-3 \\
| |
| 0, & \text{ other cases}
| |
| \end{cases}
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| where the [[floor function]] <math>\lfloor x \rfloor </math> denotes the greatest integer not exceeding ''x''.

| * For a general electronic configuration of ''l<sup>k</sup>'', namely k equivalent electrons occupying one subshell, the general treatment and computer code could also be found in this paper.<ref name="Xu" />
| |
| | |
| ===Alternative method using group theory===
| |
| For configurations with at most two electrons (or holes) per subshell, an alternative and much quicker method of arriving at the same result can be obtained from [[group theory]]. The configuration 2p<sup>2</sup> has the symmetry of the following direct product in the full rotation group:
| |
| | |
| :Γ<sup>(1)</sup> × Γ<sup>(1)</sup> = Γ<sup>(0)</sup> + [Γ<sup>(1)</sup>] + Γ<sup>(2)</sup>,
| |
| | |
| which, using the familiar labels {{nowrap|Γ<sup>(0)</sup> {{=}} S}}, {{nowrap|Γ<sup>(1)</sup> {{=}} P}} and {{nowrap|Γ<sup>(2)</sup> {{=}} D}}, can be written as
| |
| :P × P = S + [P] + D.
| |
| | |
| The square brackets enclose the anti-symmetric square. Hence the 2p<sup>2</sup> configuration has components with the following symmetries:
| |
| :S + D (from the symmetric square and hence having symmetric spatial wavefunctions);
| |
| :P (from the anti-symmetric square and hence having an anti-symmetric spatial wavefunction).
| |
| | |
| The Pauli principle and the requirement for electrons to be described by anti-symmetric wavefunctions imply that only the following combinations of spatial and spin symmetry are allowed:
| |
| :<sup>1</sup>S + <sup>1</sup>D (spatially symmetric, spin anti-symmetric)
| |
| :<sup>3</sup>P (spatially anti-symmetric, spin symmetric).
| |
| | |
| Then one can move to step five in the procedure above, applying Hund's rules.
| |
| | |
| The group theory method can be carried out for other such configurations, like 3d<sup>2</sup>, using the general formula
| |
| :Γ<sup>(j)</sup> × Γ<sup>(j)</sup> = Γ<sup>(2j)</sup> + Γ<sup>(2j-2)</sup> + ... + Γ<sup>(0)</sup> + [Γ<sup>(2j-1)</sup> + ... + Γ<sup>(1)</sup>].
| |
| | |
| The symmetric square will give rise to singlets (such as <sup>1</sup>S, <sup>1</sup>D, & <sup>1</sup>G), while the anti-symmetric square gives rise to triplets (such as <sup>3</sup>P & <sup>3</sup>F).
| |
| | |
| More generally, one can use
| |
| :Γ<sup>(j)</sup> × Γ<sup>(k)</sup> = Γ<sup>(j+k)</sup> + Γ<sup>(j+k-1)</sup> + ... + Γ<sup>(|j-k|)</sup>
| |
| | |
| where, since the product is not a square, it is not split into symmetric and anti-symmetric parts. Where two electrons come from inequivalent orbitals, both a singlet and a triplet are allowed in each case.
