Round 4: Tossup 12
Idealized rotation in systems with this property were described in five cases by Friedrich Hund. The MOPAC software package developed by Michael Dewar’s group is based on a semi-empirical method that neglects differential overlap in systems with this property. The Wigner–Witmer correlation rules generate term symbols for molecules with this property. Fully-filled sigma-1s (“sigma-one-S”) and sigma-star-1s orbitals give a bond order of zero to the largest molecule with this property, which was the first observed Rydberg molecule. Excited noble gas compounds named for having this property act as a UV light source in LED lamps. Molecules with this property have three translational and two rotational degrees of freedom, and can be modeled with the Morse potential. For 10 points, name this property possessed by molecules like elemental nitrogen and hydrogen. ■END■
