Atomic units
The atomic units have been chosen such that the fundamental electron properties are all equal to one
atomic unit. (me=1, e=1, = h/2 = 1, ao=1, and the potential energy in the hydrogen atom (e2/ao = 1).
1D=3.33564·10-30Cm
The use of atomic units also simplifies Schrödinger's equation. For example the Hamiltonian for an electron in the
Hydrogen atom would be:
2

4 0 r

1a.u. = 27.212eV = 627.51Kcal/mol = 2.1947·105 cm-1
R∞=1.097373·107m-1
Compton wavelength of electron:
λC=2.426309·10-12m

Born-Oppenheimer Approximation
The nuclei are much heavier than electrons
 they move much more slowly
 the nuclei can be considered frozen in a single arrangement (molecular conformation)
 the electrons can respond almost instantaneously to any change in the nuclear position
► the electrons in a molecule are moving in the field of fixed nuclei
► 2-nd term in (1) can be neglected
► 5-th term in (1) is a constant

Hartree Approximation (Hartree, 1928)
Ψ HP (r1 , r2 ,..., rN )  Φ i (r1 )Φ j (r2 )...Φ n (rN )
Φi – spin orbitals
The form of ΨHP suggests the independence of Φi
Probability density given by ΨHP is equal to the product of monoelectronic probability densities
This is true only if each electron is completely independent of the other electrons

In a n-electron system of electrons the motions of the electrons is correlated due to the Coulomb
repulsion (electron-one will avoid regions of space occupied by electron two).

In HP, hi will act only on the wavefunction corresponding to the i-th

not separate the variables in Schrödinger equation.
Hartree Approximation: the electrons do not interact explicitly with the others, but each electron
interacts with the medium potential given by the other electrons

monoelectronic potential Vi(1) obtained by averaging the interaction between the two electrons over the spatial and spin
