Which quantum numbers does the orbital angular momentum depend on?
Orbital angular momentum, like any other form of angular momentum, is a vector quantity.* Thus, it has both a magnitude as well as a direction.
The magnitude of the orbital angular momentum is given ...

Estimating the energy required for dissociation from visible absorption spectra
Quiz 3 has been annoying.
From the graph, we know that the molecule dissociates at a wavelength of ~262.5 nm. We know this as this is when there are no more transitions, as indicated by the completely ...

What exactly is meant by 'multi-configurational' and 'multireference'?
I would like to add to the above description. The reference states involve the spin function. For two electrons there are four spin functions, aa, (ab + ba)/sqrt 2, and bb for the triple state and (...

When does Hartree-Fock fundamentally fail?
HFA really struggles when the correlation energy is too great. I dont know every example where this is true but I do know when you have a heavy metal it is. The increased mass of the metal imposes a ...
