For low-lying levels with principal quantum number [ital n][le]5, different [ital l] levels are treated separately and the fine structure is taken into account, where [ital l] is the orbital angular momentum. The electron impact excitation cross section of an oxygen ion (O VI) is calculated for virtually all the transitions among the [ital n][le]5 levels and it is scaled for other elements. The calculated populations of excited levels and the effective ionization rate coefficient are favorably compared with available experimental results.
