Atomic orbitals radial part

For atoms, the radial part of ( )8i(p) is expressed as a linear combination of spherical gaussians, which, in the case of 2p orbitals writes as ... 

However, doubly ionized oxygen, O2-, in Cu oxides, emits an electron in a vacuum, but is to be stabilized in an ionic crystal, and the author found that delocalization of electrons on the oxygen site causes the antiferromagnetic moment on the metal site. The analysis was performed by changing width and depth (including zero depth) of a well potential added to the potential for electrons of oxygen atom in deriving numerical trial basis functions (atomic orbitals). (The well potential was not added to copper atom.) The radial part of trial basis function was numerically calculated as described in the previous... 

Theoretical energy curves for one-electron bonds between two atoms are calculated for bond orbitals formed by hybridization of 2s and 2p orbitals, 35 and 3 orbitals, and 35, 3p, and 3d orbitals, the same radial part being used for the orbitals in a set. It is found that for s-p hybridization the bond energy is closely proportional to S3, with 5 the magnitude of the angular part of the bond orbital in the bond direction. This relation is less satisfactorily approximated in the case of s-p-d hybridization. 

Fig.l. Radial part /,(r) of three Is type orbitals (/ = 0, no node) of the Hydrogen atom corresponding to three different energy values. The full line corresponds to the RIIF energy and the other ones to the RHF energy plus or minus 0.2 II. The radius r is given in Bohr units. 

In Eq. (14), /max is the maximum of the orbital angular momentum quantum numbers of the active electron in either the initial or final states, I nl, n l ) is the radial transition integral, that contains only the radial part of both initial and final wavefunctions of the jumping electron and a transition operator. Two different forms for this have been employed, the standard dipole-length operator, P(r) = r, and another derived from the former in such a way that it accounts explicitly for the polarization induced in the atomic core by the active electron [9],... 

The radial part of the 3s atomic orbital function for the hydrogen atom is a good chemical example of a product of a polynomial with an exponential function, and takes the form ... 

In order to locate the nodes in the radial part of the hydrogen 4s atomic orbital ... 

The value of the radial part of an atomic orbital wavefunction must tend to zero at very large distances from the nucleus. 

In theory, an infinite number of calculations for highly excited states is required to complete the expansion of the EP given by Eq. (24), since there are only a few occupied valence orbitals in neutral atoms. This difficulty also exists in the nonrelativistic case and is resolved by using the closure property of the projection operator with the assumption that radial parts of EPs are the same for all orbitals having higher angular momentum quantum numbers than are present in the core. The same approximation is applicable in the present... 

At this point we can, again, appreciate the possibility of separating the total wave function into a radial and an angular wave function. The angular wave function does not depend on n and r, so it will be the same for every atom. This is why the shapes of atomic orbitals are always the same. Hence, symmetry operations can be applied to the orbitals of all atoms in the same way. The differences occur in the radial part of the wave function the radial contribution depends on both n and r and it determines the energy of the orbital, which is, of course, different for different atoms. 

The theory (7, 8, 9,10,11,12) will be outlined for molecules having n atoms with a total of P valence shell electrons. We seek a set of molecular orbitals (LCAO-MO s), that are linear combinations of atomic orbitals centered on the atoms in the molecule. Since we shall not ignore overlap, the geometry of the molecule must be known, or one must guess it. The molecule is placed in an arbitrary Cartesian coordinate system, and the coordinates of each atom are determined. Orbitals of the s and p Slater-type (STO) make up the basis orbitals, and as indicated above we restrict ourselves to the valence-shell electrons for each of the atoms in the molecule. The STOs have the following form for the radial part of the function (13,18) ... 

The shift SV2 in average energy then must be considered part of the overlap interaction. Wc may. see that indeed it contributes only a radial interaction by relating it to an ortho-gonalization before bond formation. Wc imagine approximately orthogonalizing each atomic orbital to its neighbors in the form... 

Here, we look at the atomic orbitals (AOs) that constitute the partly filled subshell we are dealing for the moment with free atoms/ions, as observed in the gas phase. An AO is a function of the coordinates of just one electron, and is the product of two parts the radial part is a function of r, the distance of the electron from the nncleus and thns has spherical syimnetry the angular part is a function of the x, y, and z axes and conveys the directional properties of the orbital. The notation nd indicates an AO whose / qnantum number is 2 we have five nd orbitals corresponding to m/ = 2,1, 0, —1, and —2. Solving the Schrodinger equation, we obtain the angular wavefunctions as equations (15). 

As can be seen, these orbitals are the product of a radial part R dependent on r, the distance from the electron to the nucleus, and Y, called a spherical harmonic, a function detailing the angular dependence of the atomic wavefimction. For all many-electron atoms, the radial term must be approximated because of the aforementioned problem of electron-electron repulsions. 

As in the application of quantum mechanics to isolated atoms, the MO orbital treatment can be carried out at various levels of sophistication. In our description of the model we will assume that the MOs for H2 are constructed using hydrogen Is orbitals. We say that the Is orbitals form the basis set for the MOs. A more detailed treatment would use a different basis set—one in which the radial part of the atomic orbitals would be allowed to vary to achieve the lowest-energy MOs for the hydrogen molecule. However, to avoid as many complications as possible, as we discuss the fundamental ideas of the MO description of molecules, we will use the simplest version of this model.
