Abstract

It is shown that the Lyman-Birge-Hopfield bands of nitrogen represent a forbidden

{}^{1}Π_{g} - {}^{1}Σ_{g}^{+}

transition. A considerable difficulty in the interpretation of the electronic states of

N_{2}

by electron configurations is thus removed. A revised electronic energy level diagram of

N_{2}

is given.
