Chapter 9, Problem 9A.2AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The valence-bond wavefunction for the resonance hybrid $\text{HF}\leftrightarrow {\text{H}}^{+}{\text{F}}^{-}\leftrightarrow {\text{H}}^{-}{\text{F}}^{+}$ has to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In quantum mechanics, the wavefunction is given by $\psi$.  The wavefunction contains all the information about the state of the system.  The wavefunction is the function of the coordinates of particles and time.
