Preferred Label : term symbols;
IUPAC definition : Symbols characterizing the states of atoms and molecules in terms of multiplicity,
symmetry of the total electronic wavefunction, and sometimes total (orbital spin)
angular momentum. Examples: 2P1/2 denotes an atomic state of multiplicity 2 (doublet),
electron orbital angular momentum quantum number L 1, and orbital plus spin angular
momentum quantum number J 1/2.;
