← ScienceWhich outcome results when iterative eigenfunction solver fails to converge within set tolerances?
A)Energy level degeneracy misidentification
B)Artificial symmetry breaking appearance
C)Electron density spatial oscillations✓
D)Nuclear spin quantum number violation
💡 Explanation
When convergence fails, small numerical errors accumulate in the wavefunction because iterative solutions inherently amplify initial discrepancies, leading to unrealistically large oscillations in the predicted electron density. Therefore, density oscillations result, rather than degeneracy, symmetry breaking or corrupted spin values which stem from different causes.
