Round 2: Tossup 3

The “spin” variant of these structures are described (-5[1])by Slater determinants in the self-consistent field method of approximating them. The energy difference between two of these structures is decreased by relativistic effects, causing the color of gold and cesium. The principal, azimuthal, and magnetic quantum numbers (15[1])determine the (*) shape of these structures. (10[3])Linus Pauling first theorized that these structures (10[2])undergo hybridization. (10[1])These structures can hold up to two electrons (-5[1])of opposite (10[1])spin. For (10[1])10 points, name these structures where electrons (10[1])are likely (-5[1])to be (10[1])found around an atom, with s, p, and d (10[2])varieties. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
