The term symbol with the highest energy would be
Accepted Answer
The term symbol with the highest energy depends on the specific atom or ion. Generally, term symbols with higher values of S (total spin angular momentum) and L (total orbital angular momentum) have higher energies. For example, in a p-block element, the term symbol with the highest energy would be the one with the maximum value of L, which is usually 1 (corresponding to a 'P' term). However, the specific order of term symbols can be influenced by factors such as electron configuration and spin-orbit coupling.
