►In a symbol, if the three angularmomenta
do not satisfy the triangle conditions (34.2.1), or if the projective quantum numbers do not satisfy (34.2.3), then the symbol is zero.
…However, the and symbols may vanish for certain combinations of the angularmomenta and projective quantum numbers even when the triangle conditions are fulfilled.
…
…
►The quantities in the symbol are called angularmomenta.
Either all of them are nonnegative integers, or one is a nonnegative integer and the other two are half-odd positive integers.
