← ScienceWhich consequence arises from improper orthogonalization of atomic wave functions?
A)Spurious charge density accumulates unevenly✓
B)Excited states cannot form correctly
C)Energy levels shift linearly downward
D)Electron spin flips chaotically ensue
💡 Explanation
Non-orthogonal wave functions cause Ghost Interactions; because spurious terms appear representing electron density where none exists–thus violating Pauli exclusion–therefore these create localized charges, rather than B, C, or D which are possible, but only under external conditions.
