Answer:It combines a theoretically sound model of bonding with some experimentally determined parameters

It is faster to calculate than ab initio methods.

step-by-step explanation: Semi-emperical methods are fast and accurate in giving computational result for large molecules. Semi-emperical methods combines theoretically sound models of bonding with some experimentally determined parameters. It is based on Hartree-fock calculation,it is about the simplest form of Hartree-fock calculation It is also faster to calculate than ab initio methods.
