It is not observed in elements with even atomic numbers, because the nuclei have a spin quantum number of zero. Causing an effect similar to the isotope shift--which rarely occurs without the additional presence of this phenomenon-- it is so small as to not be observable by a normal spectroscope. Its genesis lay in an atomic nucleus spinning about its own axis and not the electron spin. For 10 poi
It is not observed in elements with even atomic numbers, because the nuclei have a spin quantum number of zero. Causing an effect similar to the isotope shift--which rarely occurs without the additional presence of this phenomenon-- it is so small as to not be observable by a normal spectroscope. Its genesis lay in an atomic nucleus spinning about its own axis and not the electron spin. For 10 points--what splitting of a spectral line is even smaller than the fine structure?
