TABLE IX. Molecular States of Electronic Configurations for a Selection of Point 

The latter results incorporate the very simple ideas of crystal field theory in which the electronic states of a central ion are split by the electric field of surrounding ions or dipoles. Although commonly applied to and configurations, this theory is merely a special case of molecular orbital theory applicable in principle to any system. Of course, the sur-
