1. Homework Statement
The electrons of a nelectronically-excited neutral magnesium atom have the coniguration 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3p 3d. Provide spec notation for the possible quant states of the atom as a whole
2. Homework Equations
3. The Attempt at a Solution
We neglect 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 and only focus on 3p and 3d. I don't know what to do because we have two high energy levels to consider. If there was just one the then problem would be trivial.
