Basis Sets

• these equations show the generalized formulas for the basis sets for the 1s and 2p orbitals

• the key ingredients are:

  • the “normalization” factor N
  • the contraction coefficient “alpha”
  • the radius (distance from the nucleus) r
  • for 2p orbitals, the x-y-z coordinate value
