Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.

Do t1g ground terms give orbital angular momentum contributions?

Accepted Answer

T1g ground terms do contribute to orbital angular momentum. The 'g' designation indicates that the term is gerade (symmetric with respect to inversion), and the '1' indicates the total orbital angular momentum quantum number (L) is 1. This corresponds to a p-type orbital, which has a non-zero angular momentum.
