What Does OMO Stand For?

OMO stands for Orthonormal Molecular Orbital

OMO, or Orthonormal Molecular Orbital, refers to a set of molecular orbitals that are both orthogonal and normalized. In quantum chemistry, these orbitals provide a basis for understanding the electronic structure of molecules by allowing for the efficient description of electron distribution and behavior. The orthonormal property ensures that the overlap between different orbitals is minimized, facilitating accurate calculations in models such as Hartree-Fock and density functional theory. OMOs are essential for predicting chemical reactivity, bonding patterns, and spectroscopic properties of molecules.
