The Gronwall form of the Schrodinger Equation for Helium

The 1937 paper of Gronwall which concerns an alternative form for the Schrodinger Equation of the 2-electron Helium problem is re-derived in a (hopefully) transparent (possibly pedestrian) manner.

Alternative Formulations for Angular Momentum Operators, Cartesian and Spherical Polar Forms

The conversion between representations of angular momentum in spherical polar and cartesian form is discussed.

Guessing Solutions to the H-atom Schrodinger Equation

In teaching elementary quantum chemistry, the concept of eigenfunctionality is explored using the H-atom's Hamiltonian and various guessed functions. This is done in Cartesian coordinates, in Spherical Polar coordinates, and in Confocal Elliptical coordinates.
