The ground state electron configuration of Carbon atom is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{2}
For the electrons, 1s^{2}2s^{2}, L=0, S=0
So only consider electrons of 2p^{2}, and
s_{1}=s_{2}=1/2 ---> S=0,1
l_{1}=l_{2}=1 ---> L=0,1,2
For S=0, L=0; J=0, so we have ^{1}S_{0}
For S=0, L=1; J=1, so ^{1}P_{1}
For S=0, L=2; J=2, so ^{1}D_{2}
For S=1, L=0; J=1, so ^{3}S_{1}
For S=1, L=1; J=0,1,2, so ^{3}P_{0}, ^{3}P_{1}, ^{3}P_{2}
For S=1, L=2; J=1,2,3, so ^{3}D_{1}, ^{3}D_{2}, ^{3}D_{3}
The above is based on my derivation. However, the correct answer is actually:
^{1}S_{0}, ^{1}D_{2}, ^{3}P_{0}, ^{3}P_{1}, ^{3}P_{2}
My question is: where are all the other possible terms? Where is wrong in my derivation:
