Which consequence results when approximating molecular wave functions?

A)Loss of electron correlation effects
B)Increased computational resource requirements
C)Exact reproduction of potential energy
D)Unphysical vibrational mode frequencies

💡 Explanation

Approximating molecular wave functions causes a loss of electron correlation effects through limitations in the functional used, because the functional can't fully describe the interactions; therefore calculations underestimate correlation, rather than addressing computation or frequency, due to simplification.
