  2. Variational method (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variational_method...

    The expectation value of the total Hamiltonian H (including the term V ee) in the state described by ψ 0 will be an upper bound for its ground state energy. V ee is −5E 1 /2 = 34 eV, so H is 8E 1 − 5E 1 /2 = −75 eV. A tighter upper bound can be found by using a better trial wavefunction with 'tunable' parameters.

  3. Multiplicity (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity_(chemistry)

    When S > L there are only 2L+1 orientations of total angular momentum possible, ranging from S+L to S-L. [2] [3] The ground state of the nitrogen atom is a 4 S state, for which 2S + 1 = 4 in a quartet state, S = 3/2 due to three unpaired electrons. For an S state, L = 0 so that J can only be 3/2 and there is only one level even though the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig

    [135] [142] [143] In art, pigs have been represented in a wide range of media and styles from the earliest times in many cultures. [144] Pig names are used in idioms and animal epithets, often derogatory, since pigs have long been linked with dirtiness and greed, [145] [146] while places such as Swindon are named for their association with ...

  5. Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hund's_Rule_of_Maximum...

    For example, the nitrogen atom ground state has three unpaired electrons of parallel spin, so that the total spin is 3/2 and the multiplicity is 4. The lower energy and increased stability of the atom arise because the high-spin state has unpaired electrons of parallel spin, which must reside in different spatial orbitals according to the Pauli ...

  6. Ground state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_state

    The ground state of a quantum-mechanical system is its stationary state of lowest energy; the energy of the ground state is known as the zero-point energy of the system. An excited state is any state with energy greater than the ground state. In quantum field theory, the ground state is usually called the vacuum state or the vacuum. If more ...

  7. Intersystem crossing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersystem_crossing

    The reverse process is also possible for cases such as [Fe 6](BF 4) 2, but the singlet state is not fully regenerated, as the energy needed to excite the quintet ground state to the necessary excited state to undergo intersystem crossing to the triplet state overlaps with multiple bands corresponding to excitations of the singlet state that ...

  8. Triplet oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triplet_oxygen

    Triplet oxygen, 3 O 2, refers to the S = 1 electronic ground state of molecular oxygen (dioxygen). Molecules of triplet oxygen contain two unpaired electrons, making triplet oxygen an unusual example of a stable and commonly encountered diradical: [2] it is more stable as a triplet than a singlet.
