Lecture

Basis Sets: Types and Functional Forms

Description

This lecture covers the basics of basis sets in quantum chemistry, including the differences between STOs and GTOs, advantages and disadvantages of each, and the use of contracted Gaussian-Type Orbitals. It also explains the types of basis sets, such as minimal, double-zeta, and triple-zeta, and introduces the Gaussian product theorem for simplifying integrals. Examples of benzene molecular orbitals and atomic wave functions are provided.
