• Resumen

  • More than 60 years ago Slater developed a very simple procedure for determining the one-electron energies for atoms and their ions. With only a few modifications a procedure has been developed that yields the one-electron energies for atoms and ions with a level of detail very well suited for instruction in the structure and properties of atoms. It provides for the computation of very reasonable values for such properties as ionization energies, electron affinities, promotion energies, electronic transitions, and even XPS and ESCA spectra. Moreover, because the procedure is simple and intuitive, exercises can be developed that provide insights for students into how atoms work.
