Abstract This article describes an algorithm for the calculation of the average properties of an atom in a molecule. The atom is defined within the topological theory of molecular structure, a theory that defines atoms, bonds, structure, and structural stability in terms of the topological properties of a system’s charge distribution. The average properties of the atom so defined are uniquely determined by quantum mechanics. […]

Chapter 23: Gauss’s Law Homework: • Read Chapter 23 • Questions 2, 5, 10 • Problems 1, 5, 32 Gauss’s Law • Gauss’s Law is the first of the four Maxwell Equations which summarize all of the electromagnetic theory. • Gauss’s Law gives us an alternative to Coulomb’s Law for calculating the electric field due to a given distribution of charges. Gauss’s Law: The General […]

A mass m moves along the x-axis subject to an attractive force given by 19mx/2 and a retarding force given by, where x is its distance from the origin and is a constant. A driving force is given by, where A is a constant, is applied to the particle along the x-axis. Write down the equation of motion. What value results in steady-state oscillations about […]
