#chempaperaday Day 26/365: "Teaching the Jahn–Teller Theorem: A Simple Exercise That Illustrates How the Magnitude of Distortion Depends on the Number of Electrons and Their Occupation of the Degenerate Energy Level"

I started to read this 2 weeks ago. But, I had other stuff and forgot to finish it. Tonight it's done. I am wondering if any undergraduates do these exercises. Seems like overkill to me. Maybe good for computational skills.
