The quantum mechanics of complex ion formation We have used quantum mechanical models to study the one electron atom, multielectron atoms, diatomic molecules, and polyatomic molecules. In each case, we have determined the discrete allowed energies of the system, and the one-electron wave functions or orbitals corresponding to each of the allowed energies. Using the Aufbau Principle, Pauli Principle, and Hund's Rule, we have were able to build the lowest energy ground state electron configurations…
