and eg ["ee-gee"] classifications of one type of these entities are the focus of ligand field theory.
Note to moderator: Take a second to read the pronunciation guides and the answerline. A gap between two types of these entities, denoted delta o, is minimized by the binding of carbon monoxide, which is one terminus of the spectrochemical series. The t2g ["tee-two-gee"] and eg ["ee-gee"] classifications of one type of these entities are the focus of ligand field theory. The wavefunctions of these entities are given by the product of Laguerre polynomials and spherical harmonics. These entities can be described as Gaussian-type or Slater-type in a calculation which linearly combines them. One of these entities has a distinctive dumbbell-and-donut shape; that entity has the subscript z2 ["z-squared"]. Types of these entities include s, p, d and f. For 10 points, name these entities which hold electrons around an atom.
