| 41. | These coefficients can be positive or negative, depending on the energies and symmetries of the individual atomic orbitals.
|
| 42. | If we consider the extreme case of isolated atoms, the Wannier function would become an isolated atomic orbital.
|
| 43. | This simple system demonstrates that hybridised atomic orbitals with higher p character will have a smaller angle between them.
|
| 44. | This means that a maximum of two electrons can share the same atomic orbital without violating the exclusion principle.
|
| 45. | This MO is called the bonding orbital and its energy is lower than that of the original atomic orbitals.
|
| 46. | "d " atomic orbitals are quite important for the molecular orbitals for some bonds and molecules.
|
| 47. | The actual distribution per shell is explained by quantum theory, see atomic orbital for all the gory details.
|
| 48. | Such features again emphasize that the shapes of atomic orbitals are a direct consequence of the wave nature of electrons.
|
| 49. | The atomic orbital model is nevertheless an approximation to the full quantum theory, which only recognizes many electron states.
|
| 50. | The atomic orbital energy correlates with electronegativity as more electronegative atoms hold their electrons more tightly, lowering their energies.
