Q: Finding Angular Part of Wavefunction of dz^2 orbital

I am having trouble in finding the angular part of wave function of dz^2 orbital,i am using the graphical- geometrical method to find the angular part,i have been able to find all the other angular parts,but having trouble in finding the exact angular part of this orbital. What i have tried- i to...

Q: How can an electron being a wave have such property as spin?

Here's what I know about electrons. Electrons have wave-like properties and the number of wavelengths in the $n^\text{th}$ shell is equal to $n(\lambda).$ Also, I read in my book that they have another property called spin. But I couldn't imagine how a wave can have a property of spin. If this pr...

Q: Effective core potential and Gaussian basis set

Actually, I'd like to know using effective core potential (ECP) and Gaussian basis set simultaneously is in ab initio calculation is valid or no? I mean for example to do Hartreee-fock calculation for a molecule is it valid that one uses ECP for one of the atoms and instead of a basis set which i...

Q: Quantum technology for starship communications and landing on Mars

Based on practically proven Quantum-Entanglement principle, any quantum switch in this universe can be flipped instantaneously from elsewhere. Can it be used to send information from far off spaceship to earth instantaneously and vice versa? Is the present quantum technology, with few qubits, suf...
