The steric number identifies how many groups of electrons must be widely separated in three-dimensional space. In ammonia, for example, the nitrogen atom bonds to three hydrogen atoms, and it has one lone pair of electrons. How are the three hydrogen atoms and the lone pair oriented in space Just as in methane, the four groups of electrons are positioned as far apart as possible, thus minimizing electron-electron repulsion. 

We now need to define a collection of atoms that can be used in a DFT calculation to represent a simple cubic material. Said more precisely, we need to specify a set of atoms so that when this set is repeated in every direction, it creates the full three-dimensional crystal stmcture. Although it is not really necessary for our initial example, it is useful to split this task into two parts. First, we define a volume that fills space when repeated in all directions. For the simple cubic metal, the obvious choice for this volume is a cube of side length a with a corner at (0,0,0) and edges pointing along the x, y, and z coordinates in three-dimensional space. Second, we define the position(s) of the atom(s) that are included in this volume. With the cubic volume we just chose, the volume will contain just one atom and we could locate it at (0,0,0). Together, these two choices have completely defined the crystal structure of an element with the simple cubic structure. The vectors that define the cell volume and the atom positions within the cell are collectively referred to as the supercell, and the definition of a supercell is the most basic input into a DFT calculation. 

One may obtain traveling wave solutions with other kinds of boundary conditions. This is, for example, the case when the reaction medium can be visualized as a closed curve in a two-dimensional space, or a closed surface in three-dimensional space (periodic boundary conditions).2... 

These n conditions define a point in n-dimensional space. We now move away from the stationary point in a controlled manner by relaxing only one of these conditions. For example, we may no longer require the second component of the gradient to be zero. We are then left with n-1 conditions, which define a line in n-dimensional space passing through the stationary point Eq. (6.3) ... 

The carbon backbones of homologous proteins (especially closely related ones, such as orthologs) are often nearly superimposable in three-dimensional space.3 This type of observation led to the widespread belief that the observed differences in function between homologous enzymes are due primarily to replacements of amino acid side chains, rather than to rearrangements of the carbon backbone. For example, the backbones of the substrate binding pockets of cow CPA1 and CPB are nearly superimposable in three-dimensional space (not shown), suggesting that the differ-... 

It turns out that this is not true generally, but a model built on this assumption does a fairly good job of explaining a rather small but important class of compounds that are called ionic solids. The most well known example of such a compound is sodium chloride, which consists of two interpenetrating lattices of Na+ and CE ions arranged in such as way that every ion of one type is surrounded (in three dimensional space) by six ions of opposite charge. 

For multi-electron systems, it is not feasible, except possibly in the case of helium, to solve the exact atom-laser problem in 3 -dimensional space, where n is the number of electrons. One might consider using time-dependent Hartree Fock (TDHF) or the time-dependent local density approximation to represent the state of the system. These approaches lead to at least njl coupled equations in 3-dimensional space which is much more attractive computationally. For example, in TDHF the wave function for a closed shell system can be approximated by a single Slater determinant of time dependent orbitals,...
