In a two-electron atomic system having orbital and spin angular momenta $${l_1}{l_2}$$ and $${s_1}{s_2}$$ respectively, the coupling strengths are defined as $${\Gamma _{{l_1}{l_2}}},\,{\Gamma _{{s_1}{s_2}}},\,{\Gamma _{{l_1}{s_1}}},\,{\Gamma _{{l_2}{s_2}}},\,{\Gamma _{{l_1}{l_2}}}$$ and $${\Gamma _{{l_2}{s_1}}}.$$ For the jj coupling. scheme to be applicable, the coupling strengths must satisfy the condition
A. $${\Gamma _{{l_1}{l_2}}},\,{\Gamma _{{s_1}{s_2}}} > {\Gamma _{{l_1}{s_1}}},\,{\Gamma _{{l_2}{s_2}}}$$
B. $${\Gamma _{{l_1}{s_1}}},\,{\Gamma _{{l_2}{s_2}}} > {\Gamma _{{l_1}{l_2}}},\,{\Gamma _{{s_1}{s_2}}}$$
C. $${\Gamma _{{l_1}{s_2}}},\,{\Gamma _{{l_2}{s_1}}} > {\Gamma _{{l_1}{l_2}}},\,{\Gamma _{{s_1}{s_2}}}$$
D. $${\Gamma _{{l_1}{s_2}}},\,{\Gamma _{{l_2}{s_1}}} > {\Gamma _{{l_1}{s_1}}},\,{\Gamma _{{l_2}{s_2}}}$$
