4. This is based on the absorption of 3.4 eV of energy by H2O from an electron beam. This type of energy absorption by various gases corresponds closely in many cases with known energy levels, transitions with change of multiplicity being allowed because of the electron’s spin [see G. Schutz, J. Chem. Phys. 33, 1661 (1958)]. Since no optical transition at 3.4 eV is known for H2O, the energy level indicated here may well be the 3A1 state of H2O.JCPSA60021-9606
