Valence orbital R(max): periodicity

valence orbital R(max)

This gives calculated values of R_max, the radius at which the magnitude of wave function is greatest, for the valence orbitals.

Units

AU and pm

Notes

Values given in the original literature are in atomic units (= 52.92 pm). Values given here in pm here are obtained by multiplying the original value 52.92.
