We have studied the effect of atomic electrons on the nuclear transition from the isomeric {sup 229m}Th state to the ground {sup 229g}Th state in {sup 229}Th{sup +} due to the electronic bridge process. The exact value of the nuclear transition frequency is unknown so far; therefore, we have developed a formalism that can be used for any nuclear transition frequency. We have calculated positions of several high-lying even-parity states which are not presented in experimental atomic spectra databases. We have found their energy levels and g factors.
