NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
What method is used to overcome the difficulty of obtaining molecular orbitals directly from the Schrödinger wave equation?
Options
- AThe uncertainty principle
- BThe LCAO method
- CThe Pauli exclusion principle
- DThe Heisenberg equation
Correct answer
B. The LCAO method
Step-by-step solution
To overcome the problem of obtaining molecular orbitals directly, the LCAO (linear combination of atomic orbitals) method is adopted.
