5 Questions
What is the electron density distribution of a molecule?
A probability distribution describing the average manner in which the electronic charge is distributed throughout real space in the attractive field exerted by the nuclei
According to QTAIM, how is molecular structure revealed?
By the stationary points of the electron density together with the gradient paths of the electron density
What was the driving assumption behind the development of QTAIM?
The concepts of atoms and bonds should have a well-defined physical basis
Who primarily developed QTAIM?
Professor Richard Bader and his research group at McMaster University
What is the principal object of molecular structure according to QTAIM?
Atoms and bonds
