Ideas of Quantum Chemistry P17 shows how quantum mechanics is applied to chemistry to give it a theoretical foundation. The structure of the book (a TREE-form) emphasizes the logical relationships between various topics, facts and methods. It shows the reader which parts of the text are needed for understanding specific aspects of the subject matter. Interspersed throughout the text are short biographies of key scientists and their contributions to the development of the field. | 126 3. Beyond the Schrödinger Equation N 2 1s pz jpz 1s 1s p.

In the second row the scalar product of spinors is used in the third row the Hermitian character of the operator p.

The two integrals at the end cancel each other because each of the integrals does not change when the variables are interchanged x y. Finally we obtain the following formula 1 -A 1s 1s r -Z-2 -3Z3 2Z3 Z where the equality follows from a direct calculation of the two The next matrix element to calculate is equal to c n . We proceed as follows please recall kinetic balancing and we also use Appendix H p. 969 c a n Ncl a wh o 1s 0 l a n 33In the first integral we have the same situation as awhile before. In the second integral we write the nabla operator in Cartesian coordinates obtain a scalar product of two gradients then we get three integrals equal to one another they contain x y z and it is sufficient to calculate one of them by spherical coordinates by formula in Appendix H p. 969.
