What Does HFO Stand For?
HFO stands for Hartree Fock Orbital
HFO, or Hartree Fock Orbital, refers to a type of molecular orbital that is derived from the Hartree-Fock method in quantum chemistry. This approach approximates the behavior of electrons in a multi-electron system by considering the average effect of all other electrons on a given electron. Hartree Fock Orbitals provide a foundational framework for understanding electronic structure and are integral to computational methods used in predicting molecular properties and behavior.
