Description

The availability of transplutonium elements affords the opportunity, via analysis of their spectra, to expand our understanding of electronic structure throughout the periodic table. A particularly important issue to be elucidated will be the involvement of the 5f orbitals in bonding. Since 5f orbitals, which are progressively filled through the actinide series, are intermediate in their properties between the 4f orbitals and the 3d orbitals, the insights gained from actinide spectroscopy can be expected to illuminate the behavior of the lanthanides and the transition metals. 10 refs
