The energy levels in sodium atoms with quarks attached to the nucleus are obtained using the configuration interaction method. It is found that the calculated 3 p ( 2 P ) → 3 s ( 2 S ) electronic transition in the Na −1/3 quark–atom system is in agreement with that predicted by extrapolation of experimental data. Also, ionization potentials of fractionally charged sodium atoms are discussed. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
