Hi, I have a question in the quantum chemistry about slater determinants. From how many spatial- and spin- coordinates does the slater determinant of a N2-molecule depend on? And how from how many spin- and spatial coordinates does the spin orbital of an electron generally depend on? i know tht spin orbitals are made of a spatial and a spin part. The spin part is consists of beta and alpha - therefore 2 coordinates, right? And the number of spatial coordinates depends on the kind of the orbital (e.g. p-orbital: 3 coordinates), right? Therefore I wuld assume that the slater determinante of a N2-molecule dpends on 6 spatial- and 2 spin-coordinates? I am still not sure if I am on the right path, I would very much appreciate your help! Thanks is advance!
