Notes:
The concept of an atom in a molecule in the context of density functional theory is used to analyze different levels of approximation to the description of interatomic interactions. Such an approach strongly suggests the use of Kohn-Sham atomic densities as an alternative to Hartree-Fock atomic densities in the electron gas model of Gordon and Kim. The results for rare gases and ionic crystals show that both densities lead to similar results.
