Question

The decline of IU Bloomington’s software exchange was foreshadowed by the withdrawal of a program named for this person, whose “82” edition was distributed by Carnegie Mellon. The CNDO/2 method was an early (10[1])application of three-zeta assemblages named for this person because they were developed in the same lab. A software suite named for this person controversially denied a license to its developer John Pople. (10[2]-5[1])Functions named for this (10[1])person (10[1])are stacked to reproduce the pointiness of Slater-type orbitals (10[3])and are the components of the split-valence 6-31G (10[1])basis set. Semi-empirical methods simplify electron correlation to one-center integrals using functions named for this person, (10[1])which contain an “e to the minus-r-squared” term. For 10 points, what person names (10[1])basis functions whose radial component resembles the normal distribution? (10[7])■END■ (10[6])
