Dec 11, 2022 at 18:19 comment added Buck Thorn By the way, the question in your title doesn't quite match that in the body of the post. I answered the question in the post, which refers to isolated atoms (modeled using Slater type orbitals) not molecules.

Dec 10, 2022 at 4:16 comment added jimchmst Does they have a better approach that is somewhat understandable?
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.
