The Molecular Hamiltonian
- for a molecular system,
is a function of the positions of the electrons and the nuclei within the molecule.
- the Hamiltonian is made up of kinetic and potential energy terms:
- the kinetic energy is a summation of
over all the particles in the molecule:
- the potential energy component is the Coulomb repulsion between each pair of charged entities:
