The problem of developing relations for the statistical distribution of the angular momentum states of an electron configuration lN, where l and N are large, has been considered. If D(L) is the number of times the orbital angular momentum L occurs, then, using the theory of partitions and groups, we find that the numbers D(L) are approximately distributed with respect to L according to the Wigner-type form D(L)=A(L+12) exp [−(L+12)2/2σ2]. A number of examples are examined.
