Extract

The momentum distribution for the electron in the hydrogen molecular ion has been calculated for various wave functions, including the one used by James with which he obtained such a good value for the binding energy. The method adopted for this particular wave function is outlined and the results show appreciable change with improvement in the wave function. In conclusion there are discussed the implications of the present calculations on similar work on the H2 molecule.
