Abstract
The approximations made in the analysis of the spectra of ions are not new. In fact, they go back to the old Bohr orbit theory. Since many readers may not be familiar with these assumptions and may not remember many of the concepts and most of the technical jargon used in the field of atomic spectra, we review some of these briefly. We stick strictly to those concepts which apply to transition-metal ions and rare-earth ions.
