Tossup

One form of these entities is often analogized to “onion skin,” where the empty space between layers represents these entities’ radial nodes. Slater-type functions represent (10[1])these entities in the Hartree–Fock method for (-5[1])determining their coefficients; that method involves taking a linear combination of these entities. Spin multiplicity is maximized in the occupation of these entities according (10[1])to Hund’s rule. (10[2])The tetrahedral geometry (10[1])and identical bonds of methane are due (10[1])to the hybridization of four (10[1])of these entities, three of which have a characteristic dumbbell shape.
