Abstract

First-order perturbation theory for the mass-velocity, Darwin, and magnetic corrections was used with a non-relativistic wavefunction to calculate relativistic contributions to the ground and 3A2, 3A', 3A1,2B2, and 2B1 excited states of Corrections to the excitation energy were found to be in the range of 30-80 cm-1.
