I'd like to model some simple molecules using VSEPR. With what functions should I approximate the sigma and pi bond orbitals? A simple Gauss would do it? I'd like to have a good precision. Thanks in advance

1This may be a question better suited to Chemistry SE. – Charlie Sep 26 '20 at 16:12

This is a physics question, Charlie. – RobertSzili Sep 26 '20 at 16:45

2It is at very least in the region between physics and chemistry. Anything relating to modelling of molecular bonds is arguably computational/quantum chemistry territory. If you don't get an answer here you should try asking on Chemistry SE also. – Charlie Sep 26 '20 at 17:25

It is a question in between, where either will be eligible to downvote in want of any information arguing it belongs to the other side. – Gyro Gearloose Sep 26 '20 at 17:34

I might be biased because my background is in chemistry, but this topic strikes me as leaning further toward the chemistry side of things. – electronpusher Sep 26 '20 at 22:47

Or create a SE question for this instead of deflecting my topic. – RobertSzili Sep 27 '20 at 12:35
