Last time:
1. Screening, and coupled, self-consistent
Hartree equations for many-electron atoms
2. 4th quantum number: spin
3. Filling (auf-bau) of the periodic table
4. Physical trends on sizes, IP, EA. (e.g., why He
is smaller than H)

If E [ Ψ ] = E0 , then Φ is the ground
state wavefunction, and viceversa…

Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals
• Most common approach to find out the groundstate solution – it allows a meaningful definition
of “hybridization”, “bonding” and “anti-bonding”
orbitals.
• Also knows as LCAO, LCAO-MO (for molecular
orbitals), or tight-binding (for solids)
• Trial wavefunction is a linear combination of
atomic orbitals – the variational parameters are the
coefficients:
Ψ trial = c1Ψ1s
(
r r
r r
r − RA + c2 Ψ1s r − RB
)

• Born-Oppenheimer approximation: the
electron is always in the ground state
corresponding to the instantaneous ionic
positions
