The anomalous Zeeman effect is different from the normal Zeeman effect because

a.to observe the normal Zeeman effect, the atom must be in a magnetic field, while the anomalous Zeeman effect depends on the external electric field. b.the split of energy levels from the anomalous Zeeman effect depends on the Lande g factor and the split from the normal Zeeman effect depends on the gyromagnetic ratio. c.the split of energy levels from the anomalous Zeeman effect depends on the intrinsic spin quantum number and the split from the normal Zeeman effect depends on the magnetic quantum number. d.the total angular momentum vector only precesses in the anomalous Zeeman effect.

e. only the normal Zeeman effect depends on the angular momentum L.
