LCAO-MO's are not Eigenfunctions of the H_2^+ Hamiltonian

A simple LCAO-MO for the hydrogen molecule cation is tested for eigenfunctionality and found to be flawed.

A Review of Helium Hamiltonians

Helium Hamiltonian transformations are discussed in extreme detail.

The Runge0Lenz Vector (continued)

We continue our discussion of the Runge-Lenz vector in a quantum mechanical context. The traditional form of the Runge-Lenz vector is obtained, and the commutation relations between the Runge-Lenz vector, the Hamiltonian, and the Angular Momentum are obtained using Maple.

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.
