How can I calculate the exchange energy for a molecule in PySCF?
I am trying to generate exchange energy separately in pyscf but didn't see a way to do that. For correlation energy, it's fairly simple but do you have any idea how to calculate exchange energy?

Why is my quantum chemistry software not printing as many 2e- integrals as I expect?
Background:
In Hartree-Fock theory, the two-electron integral is given by:
$[ij|kl]$ = $\int dx_{1}dx_{2}(\chi_{i}(x_{1})\chi_{j}(x_{1})\frac{1}{r_{12}}\chi_{k}^{*}(x_2)\chi_{l}(x_{2})$
I am ...

What unit of energy does PySCF use?
The documentation for PySCF can be found here: https://sunqm.github.io/pyscf/
However, it does not explicitly state in the documentation what unit of energy is used.
Is there a way to find this out?
