The ground state configuration of Ni²⁺ in tetrahedral geometry is - ³F
To find the ground state term symbol, we should use symmetry and group theory arguments.
The electron configuration of Ni²⁺ is - [Ar]3d⁸.
ml = ↑↓ +2 ↑↓+1 ↑↓0 ↑-1 ↑-2
So L = 0 + 0 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 + –1 + –2 = 3 (F state),
and S = ½ + –½ + ½ + –½ + ½ + –½ + ½ + –½ + ½ + ½ = 1 (2S + 1 = 3).
This gives a term symbol of ³F.
