Hello.
When I accessed to selection rule page in Wikipedia, I have a difficulty of how to use rules listed there.
I'm now only concering electric dipole transition so column (E1) in the table there will be my only interests. Since I need to know whether transition is possible or not between energy states of neutral Argon listed in NIST Atomic Spectra Database, I thought I only take rules for L-S coupling as NIST data is in term symbol so Argon is L-S coupling.
However, what about "Rigorous rules" in the table there? Is it also what should I take?
Please help me so that I can use the table in proper way:)
