✦ Synopsis

The maximum hardness principle is examined within the Gyftopoulos-Hatsopoulos three-level model for an electronic system. As an atom or a molecule approaches equilibrium at some chemical potential /z and constant temperature T, its softness (inverse hardness) is shown to most often approach a minimum value.
