Abstract: Energy levels of highly charged ions as a rule cannot be classified using LS coupling due to rapid increase of relativistic effects. It is suggested, for optimal classification of energy spectra, to calculate them in LS coupling and to transform the weights of the wave functions, obtained after diagonalization of the energy matrix, to the other coupling schemes. F-like ions are considered as an example.
