Spectroscopic notation is a way to represent the electronic configuration of atoms and ions in a concise manner, using specific symbols to denote the energy levels, subshells, and the number of electrons in each subshell. It is particularly useful for describing the quantum states of electrons in atoms, which is essential for understanding chemical behavior and spectral lines.
