  2. Laporte rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laporte_rule

    Laporte rule. The Laporte rule is a rule that explains the intensities of absorption spectra for chemical species. It is a selection rule that rigorously applies to atoms, and to molecules that are centrosymmetric, i.e. with an inversion centre. It states that electronic transitions that conserve parity are forbidden.

  3. Molecular term symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_term_symbol

    Molecular term symbol. In molecular physics, the molecular term symbol is a shorthand expression of the group representation and angular momenta that characterize the state of a molecule, i.e. its electronic quantum state which is an eigenstate of the electronic molecular Hamiltonian. It is the equivalent of the term symbol for the atomic case.

  4. Molecular orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital

    In chemistry, a molecular orbital (/ ɒrbədl /) is a mathematical function describing the location and wave-like behavior of an electron in a molecule. This function can be used to calculate chemical and physical properties such as the probability of finding an electron in any specific region.

  5. Diatomic molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomic_molecule

    Diatomic molecule. Diatomic molecules (from Greek di- 'two') are molecules composed of only two atoms, of the same or different chemical elements. If a diatomic molecule consists of two atoms of the same element, such as hydrogen (H2) or oxygen (O2), then it is said to be homonuclear. Otherwise, if a diatomic molecule consists of two different ...

  6. Spectroscopic notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopic_notation

    This notation is used to specify electron configurations and to create the term symbol for the electron states in a multi-electron atom. When writing a term symbol, the above scheme for a single electron's orbital quantum number is applied to the total orbital angular momentum associated to an electron state.

  7. Holstein–Herring method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holstein–Herring_method

    The Holstein–Herring formula had limited applications until around 1990 when Kwong-Tin Tang, Jan Peter Toennies, and C. L. Yiu demonstrated that can be a polarized wave function, i.e. an atomic wave function localized at a particular nucleus but perturbed by the other nuclear center, and consequently without apparent gerade or ungerade ...

  8. List of typographical symbols and punctuation marks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_typographical...

    Typographical symbols and punctuation marks are marks and symbols used in typography with a variety of purposes such as to help with legibility and accessibility, or to identify special cases. This list gives those most commonly encountered with Latin script. For a far more comprehensive list of symbols and signs, see List of Unicode characters.
