This chapter presents the Hartree-Fock method with an emphasis on computing the energies of selected closed-shell atoms.

A revised analysis of the effect of long-range nonspherical terms in the intermolecular potential on the second virial coefficient is presented with a preferred Hartree-Fock-Dispersion functional (HFD-C) spherical core treatment of the integrations for small intermolecular distances. A set of modified numerical tables for the accurate calculation of the nonspherical contribution to the sec...
