On the Wigner-Witmer correlation rules for a homonuclear diatomic molecule with the like atoms in identical atomic states

The problem of building the manifold of electronic states of a homonuclear diatomic molecule formed from two like atoms in identical atomic states is readdressed. A conceptually simple approach is presented by invoking a model and all the standard results originally obtained by Wigner and Witmer are...

Description
Summary:The problem of building the manifold of electronic states of a homonuclear diatomic molecule formed from two like atoms in identical atomic states is readdressed. A conceptually simple approach is presented by invoking a model and all the standard results originally obtained by Wigner and Witmer are reproduced.
