Multiple choice

What is the basic approximation used in the Hartree-Fock method?

  1. The electrons are independent of each other.

  2. The electrons interact with each other via a mean field.

  3. The electrons are correlated with each other.

  4. The electrons are localized in atomic orbitals.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The Hartree-Fock method is based on the approximation that the electrons interact with each other via a mean field. This means that the interaction between two electrons is replaced by an effective potential that is averaged over all the other electrons in the system.

Multiple choice
