Which consequence occurs when approximation functions poorly represent diatomic molecular orbitals?

💡 Explanation

Inadequate basis functions can cause numerical artifacts in computed charge densities because the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method relies on accurate functional representations; therefore, charge accumulates spuriously rather than reflecting correct molecular electron density and behavior.
