Write the exact hamiltonian for the lithium atom


The following wavefunction is proposed for an excited state of the lithium
atom ψ =1√6
|
1s(1)β(1) 2s(1)β(1) 3s(1)β(1)
1s(2)β(2) 2s(2)β(2) 3s(2)β(2)
1s(3)β(3) 2s(3)β(3) 3s(3)β(3)
|
where 1s, 2s, and 3s are eigenfunctions for the Li2+Hamiltonian.

a. Does this wave function satisfy the Pauli exclusion principle? Explain.

b. Write the exact hamiltonian for the lithium atom and identify the physical meaning of each term. Is ψ an eigenfunction for the exact hamiltonian?
