Which risk elevates when approximating molecular orbitals using basis functions lacking appropriate nodal properties?

💡 Explanation

An inadequate basis function set lacks appropriate nodal surfaces; because variational principle dictates that approximate wavefunctions will raise the system's energy during optimization using Relaxation. Therefore, there is an energy increase, rather than better SCF convergence, due to poor minimization.
