Here P°g,v is a eonstant (having energy units) eharaeteristie of the bonding interaetion between X i and Xv its value is usually determined by foreing the moleeular orbital energies obtained from sueh a qualitative orbital treatment to yield experimentally eorreet ionization potentials, bond dissoeiation energies, or eleetronie transition energies. 

Thus, the number of peaks in the spectrum corresponds to the number of occupied energy levels in the atoms whose BEs are lower than the X-ray energy hv, the position of the peaks direcdy measures the BEs of the electrons in the orbitals and identifies the atom concerned the intensities of the peaks depend on the number of atoms present and on the a values for the orbital concerned. All these statements depend on the idea that electrons behave independently of each other. This is only an approximation. When the approximation breaks down, additional features can be created in the spectrum, owing to the involvement of some of the passive electrons (those not being photoejected).

Fig. 2. Temperature dependence of the HS fraction % according to the Ising model. The employed parameter values are = 150 K, Aj = Aj = 500 cm and X = — 100 em h Here, Aj and Aj are the orbital energy differences between the and levels and between the Bj and levels, respectively, X being the spin-orbit coupling constant. The model parameters A, Aj, and X determine the value of AG. The levels result from the HS iron(II) ground state in orthorhombic symmetry according to Bj -1- B2 + B. The figures on the curves specify the values of...

For the moment however it is not clear where the results of X - a calculations can be fitted into the pattern since it is not evident that the calculated electronic energies of the various levels have the same significance viz a viz Koopmans theorem as do the SCF orbital energies. 

To obtain the 7r-orbitals polyene model system and their orbital energies j one first diagonalizes the N x N matrix defined by equation 15, N being the number of basis functions ryy... 

Because there is one 3s orbital per Na atom, and since the number of energy levels (molecular orbitals) created is equal to the number of atomic orbitals initially present, there are 7.02 x 1020 energy levels present in the conduction band of this sample. Also, there is one 3s electron contributed by each Na atom, for a total of 7.02 x 1020 electrons. Because each energy level can hold two electrons, the conduction band is half full.

Now, suppose we wish to study the series Y—F, Y—Cl, Y-Br and Y—I. Here, we have to replace the X atom by hydrogen of appropriate artificial electronegativity but we must also pick an appropriate bond length so that the variation of the orbital energies along the series Y—F, Y—Cl, etc., is correctly reproduced.
