Theory for the Forces between Closed-Shell Atoms and Molecules

Gordon, Roy G., Kim, Yung Sik·1972·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

A simple model is presented for calculating the forces between closed-shell atoms and molecules in the regions both of the attractive well and of the repulsive wall at shorter distances. Account is taken of both the overlap of the separate atomic densities and of electron correlation. Applications to pairs of rare gas atoms and to alkali halide molecules demonstrate quantitative agreement with empirically determined intermolecular potentials for these systems over the whole range of separations inside and including the potential minimum.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
