The splitting of sets of one type of these objects is the subject of ligand field theory, and that type being partially filled defines the properties of the transition metals.
The splitting of sets of one type of these objects is the subject of ligand field theory, and that type being partially filled defines the properties of the transition metals. The linear combination of these entities can generate molecular ones. By the Pauli Exclusion Principle, these entities can contain at most two electrons. For 10 points, name these mathematical descriptions of the location of electrons in an atom, examples of which include the s, three p ones, and five d ones.
