Chapter 9, Problem 9E.6AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electronic Hamiltonian for ${\text{HeH}}^{+}$ has to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The Schrodinger equation is used to find the allowed energy levels for electronic transitions in the quantum mechanics.  It is generally expressed as follows.

  $\stackrel{⌢}{\text{H}}\Psi =\text{E}\Psi$

Where,

• $\stackrel{⌢}{\text{H}}$ is the Hamiltonian operator.
• $\Psi$ is the wavefunction.
• $\text{E}$ is the energy.

The energy obtained after applying the operator on wavefunction is known as the eigen value for the wavefunction.
