Q143 · CSIR NET Chemistry, June 2011
Paper: CSIR NET June 2011 · Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Quantum Chemistry · Topic: Angular Momentum · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium
For a $\mathrm{H_2}$ molecule, the ground state wave function is $\psi 1,2 = \phi 1,2\ \sigma(1, 2)$ where $\phi$ refers to the space part and $\sigma$ to the spin part. Given that $\phi 1,2 = \phi 2,1$ the form of $\sigma(1, 2)$ would be
(a)$\alpha(1)\beta(2)$
(b)$\alpha(2)\beta(1)$
(c)$\alpha 1\beta 2 - \alpha(2)\beta(1)$
(d)$\alpha 1\beta 2 + \alpha(2)\beta(1)$
