Abstract:
Relativistic wave functions for elements with Z = 37-54 [Su & Coppens (1998). Acta Cryst. A54, 646-652] have been fitted with a linear combination of Slater-type functions as defined by Bunge, Barrientos & Bunge [At. Data Nucl. Data Tables (1993), 53, 113-162], for use in charge-density analysis and other applications. In addition, numerical relativistic wave functions have been calculated for all chemically relevant ions up to Z = 54, and corresponding analytical expressions have been derived. X-ray scattering factors calculated from the numerical wave functions are parameterized [in the sin(straight theta)/lambda ranges 0.0-2.0, 2.0-4.0 and 4.0-6.0 A(-1)] with six Gaussian functions, using the same method applied previously by Su & Coppens [Acta Cryst. (1997), A53, 749-762].

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom
Electronic Structure of Atoms
An atom comprises protons and neutrons, which are contained inside the dense, central core called the nucleus, with electrons present around the nucleus. Taking into account the wave–particle duality of electrons and the uncertainty in position around the nucleus, quantum mechanics provides a more accurate model for the atomic structure. It describes atomic orbitals as the regions around the nucleus where electrons of discrete energy exist, characterized by four quantum numbers: n, l, ml, and...
