Atomic Populations

Emma McNesby

The Mulliken theory of atomic populations, or the populations of electrons localized to individual atoms within a molecule, as described in his 1955 paper “Electronic Population Analysis on LCAO-MO Molecular Wave Functions,” earned Robert Mulliken the 1966 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in molecular orbital theory.
