Electronic States and Configurations: Visualizing the Difference
Igor Novak
Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore, Singapore 119260

Cover
January 1999
Vol. 76 No. 1
p. 135

Abstract
A difference in the electron distributions between singlet and triplet states arising from the same electron configuration is visualized graphically using Mathematica. The visualization shows that shell structure is more pronounced in the singlet than in the triplet state; the effective atomic radius is also greater in the former.
