FINE STRUCTURE FEATURES<br />
The gross structure of an atom is due to the principal quantum number<br />
n, giving the main electron shells of atoms. However, electron shells<br />
exhibit fine structure, and levels are split due to spin-orbit<br />
coupling (the<br />
energy difference<br />
between the<br />
electron spin<br />
being parallel or<br />
antiparallel to<br />
the electron's orbital<br />
moment).<br />
