Abstract:
Non-relativistic and Douglas-Kroll-Hess (DKH) basis sets augmented with diffuse functions for He, Ca, Sr, Ba, and lanthanides are generated. These sets are appropriated to describe electrons away from the nuclei. Using the DKH augmented sets along with the B3LYP functional, bond lengths, dissociation energies, harmonic vibrational frequencies, adiabatic ionization potentials, adiabatic electron affinities, and dipole moments for CaH, SrH, and BaH are computed. These results agree well with the most recent experimental and benchmark theoretical data published in the literature. The DKH mean dipole polarizabilities reported in this work for some elements are close to the recommended values. Scalar relativistic effects are also estimated.

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...
