Which outcome increases when representing atomic orbitals using many small, linear basis functions?

💡 Explanation

Increasing basis functions improves the description of electron distribution because linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method is used; therefore, computational cost rises, rather than decreasing, since many more two-electron integrals need to be calculated.
