Use Spartan or WebMO to calculate the electron affinity of atoms with atomic number 1~10, by using CCSD(T)、B3LYP and MP2 theories with 6-31G(d,p)、6-31++G(d,p) 、6-311G(2df,2p) and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets, and do some simple statistical analysis.

  • Conclusion

1,When we pluse the diffuse function to noble gas is more useful to reduce the error than pluse the polarization GTO.

2,Compare to last week homework, we can know that the noble gas error might come for the calculation from the anion.
