What is meant by the octant sign? How can you follow the octant rule to determine the absolute
configuration of cyclic ketones? How do we confirm whether a complex is ∆-isomer or

What are Racah parameters? What do they signify? The gas-phase ion V3+ has a 3F ground
term. The 1D and 3P terms lie, respectively, 10,642 and 12,920 cm-1 above it. The energies of
the terms are given in terms of Racah parameters as E(
3F) = A=8B, E(
3P)=A+7B, E(
1D) =
