5 Questions
What is the principal object of molecular structure according to the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM)?
Electron density distribution
According to QTAIM, how is molecular structure revealed?
By the stationary points of the electron density and the gradient paths of the electron density
Who primarily developed QTAIM?
Professor Richard Bader and his research group at McMaster University
What drove the development of QTAIM?
The assumption that atoms and bonds should have a well-defined physical basis
What did QTAIM analyze in the early 1960s and 90s?
Theoretically calculated electron densities of simple molecules and both theoretically and experimentally measured electron densities of crystals
Test your knowledge of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) which is a model used in quantum chemistry to describe the electronic systems of molecules and crystals based on electron density distribution. Explore the concept of electron density distributions and their role in understanding molecular structure.
