Dec 10, 2022 at 4:09 | comment | added | ACR | @IvanNeretin, Would you mind expanding your comment into a useful answer? Who is "we" and what is the meaning of vague resemblance? I know at least one theoretical physical chemist who considers all this orbital teaching business for higher elements as complete non-sense. | |
Dec 9, 2022 at 21:01 | comment | added | Ivan Neretin | Because of the said resemblance, that's why. | |
Dec 9, 2022 at 20:11 | comment | added | Volpina | But if they are not why do we still use them to predict behaviour of chemical elements? | |
Dec 9, 2022 at 20:10 | comment | added | Ivan Neretin | We know the opposite: they are not the same. There is a vague resemblance, hardly more. | |
