Quantum chemistry is a subfield of quantum mechanics. Like its parent field, quantum chemistry focuses on understanding physical phenomena occuring at the atomic scale. Quantum chemistry however is more focused on providing useful descriptions of electronic structure to aid in understanding chemical problems (e.g. reactions, spectra, dynamics, ...).

What determines the coefficients in the wavefunction of a hybrid orbital?

I was studying the hybridization of carbon atoms and I came to figure out that the $sp$ hybridization wavefunction is given as $$|sp_{+}\rangle =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\psi_{2s}+\psi_{2p_x}\right)$$ …

Band gap of fullerenes

From what I have read about fullerenes, the lower fullerenes like $\ce{C60}$ or $\ce{C70}$ have higher bandgaps around 3.5 eV or such, while the higher fullerenes have much smaller bandgaps of the ord …
