Abstract
RECENTLY, S. Mrozowski1 has found that the band lines in the spectrum of mercury hydride (HgH) are split into several narrow components of constant or nearly constant separation (˜0.02 A.). The bands investigated belong to a sequence ν′ = 0, ν″ = 0, 1, 2, 3 in the transition???Apparently the approximate formula for the isotope effect in band spectra, , fails completely to explain this case, and so Mrozowski concludes that the separation may be interpreted as a hyperfine structure in a more restricted sense, that is, it is caused by the magnetic or electric constitution of the atomic nuclei.
