Used parity selection rule, Assumed Russell-Saunders Coupling
The Attempt at a Solution
I only understand the electric dipole allowed transitions from reading. I don't actually understand how they work. For the electron undergoing the transition, dl= +/-1. The d represents delta. For the atom as a whole, the following selection rules apply:
dS=0, dL=0, +/- 1
dJ=0, +/-1 except 0<->0
dMJ= 0, +/-1 except 0<-> for dJ=0
dML=0, +/- 1
dMS=0, +/-1
Laporte selection rule on parity: u <-> g g<-x->g u<-x->u
