Round 2: Tossup 3

The “spin” variant of these structures are described by Slater determinants (15[1])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. (-5[1])The principal, azimuthal, and magnetic quantum numbers determine the (*) shape of these structures. Linus Pauling first theorized that these structures undergo hybridization. These structures can hold up to two electrons of opposite spin. For (-5[1])10 points, (10[1])name these structures where electrons are likely to be (10[1])found around an (10[1])atom, with s, p, and d varieties. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: atomic orbitals [accept specific examples such as s orbitals; prompt on AOs; reject “orbits” or “molecular orbitals” or “MOs”]
