Orbital Angular Moentu Spherical Haronics Nucleus charge +Ze ass coordinates x, y, z Electron charge e ass coordinates x, y, z The potential arises fro the Coulob interaction between the charged particles.

2 The Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen ato is T T T T T T ( ET V ) T x y z e x y z kinetic energy of nucleus kinetic energy of electron potential energy eigenvalues Can separate translational otion of the entire ato fro relative otion of nucleus and electron. Introduce new coordinates x, y, z - center of ass coordinates r,, - polar coordinates of second particle relative to the first Copyright Michael D. Fayer, 7

4 Substituting these into the Schrödinger equation. Change differential operators. T T T x y z This ter only depends on center of ass coordinates. Other ters only on relative coordinates. T T T r sin r r r r sin r sin reduced ass [ E,, ] T V r T Try solution ( x, y, z, r,, ) F T ( x, y, z ) ( r,, ) Substitute and divide by T Copyright Michael D. Fayer, 7

Multiplying by and transposing -, yields sin d sin d d d sin Replacing the second and third ters in the top equation by - and ultiplying by R/r gives d d R r R E V( r) R r dr dr r Copyright Michael D.
