Anomalous zeeman effect.

The splitting of energy levels exhibited by atoms having non-zero spin is called anomalous zeeman effect. Again  the splitting of spectral line in presence of weak field is called anomalous zeeman effect.

Normal zeeman effect.

The splitting of energy level exhibited by atoms having zero spin is called normal zeeman effect.    Or The phenomenon of splitting of a spectral line into 3 components lines in presence of strong external magnetic field is called normal zeeman effect.
