← ScienceWhich consequence results when applying an external magnetic field causes perturbation of atomic electron orbitals?
A)Spin-orbit coupling becomes negligible
B)Zeeman splitting of energy levels✓
C)Vibrational modes are severely damped
D)Covalent bonds become inherently stronger
💡 Explanation
Applying a magnetic field causes Zeeman splitting because the interaction between the magnetic dipole moment of the electron and the external field results in different energy levels. Therefore, we observe Zeeman splitting, rather than other atomic effects due to vibrational modes or bonding.
