Abstract:
One bound state for the very weakly interacting complex of H(2) with one He atom is computed using a recently obtained, very accurate potential energy surface [A. I. Boothroyd and P. G. Martin, J. Chem. Phys. 119, 3187 (2003)] and employing a discrete variable representation expansion. The spatial features of this very diffused, "halo" state are analyzed and discussed for various isotopic variants of the title system.

Introduction to Chemical Bonds
The electrons of the outermost energy level determine the energetic stability of the atom and its tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms. The innermost electron shell has a maximum capacity of two electrons, but the next two electron shells can each have a maximum of eight electrons. This is known as the octet rule, which states that, with the exception of the innermost shell, atoms are most stable energetically when they have eight electrons in their valence shell, the...
