  1. Stationary Point In Chemistry

    Linked via "quantum mechanical uncertainty"

    Zero-Point Vibrational Energy (ZPVE) Correction
    While stationary points define the classical potential energy minima, real chemical systems possess Zero-Point Vibrational Energy (ZPVE)/). The ZPVE/) arises from the inherent quantum mechanical uncertainty in the position and momentum of the nuclei, even at absolute zero temperature.
    The ZPVE/) correction ($E_{ZPVE}$…
