What is a reaction path in PES? - ANSWER-A path that connects reactants and
products through a mountain pass


Where is the transition structure on a PES? - ANSWER-The highest point on the
lowest energy path


How are reaction rates obtained from a PES? - ANSWER-The height and profile
of the potential energy surface around the transition structure

, What determines the vibrational spectrum in a PES? - ANSWER-The shape of the
valley around the minimum


How is the electronic spectrum obtained from a PES? - ANSWER-The separation
between the separate potential energy surfaces of each electronic state


What properties are given from a PES? - ANSWER-Dipole moment

Need a basis sets
Can use RHF, UHF


What are the differences of DFT and HF? - ANSWER-DFT uses electron density,
HF uses one electron wavefunctions
DFT uses principle exact
HF uses insert limitations
Exchange and Correlation not defined in same way
