Valence bond treatment on the B state of the hydrogen molecule

The potential energy of the lowest 1 ∑u + state of the hydrogen molecule is given as a function of the internuclear distance. Calculations were carried out by the valence bond method using Slater 1s and 2p atomic Orbitals. Both ionic and covalent structures were considered. The 1s orbitals of the io...
