Description
An examination of how sulfur's 3s, 3p and 3d orbitals compare in size and energy to fluorine's 2p orbitals depending on the basis set used to describe the quantum system. This is then used to determine whether 3d orbitals can energetically and geometrically overlap with fluorine's 2p to participate in bonding in hypervalent compounds.
