Appears things are substantially more complicated for the alkaline earths, though, even those for which a useful atom-emitting line is listed. | |

(See Fig. 7-25 here: bcs.whfreeman.com/webpub/Ektron/Tipler%20Modern%20Physics%206e/…) However, in both cases the transitions are forbidden singlet-triplet. I believe Russell Saunders coupling is less correct further down the periodic table, and the transition is less forbidden for Ca. physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/Handbook/Tables/calciumtable3.htm vs physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/Handbook/Tables/… | |
