Quantum Chemistry 7.9 - Virial Theorem

Short lecture on the virial theorem for atoms and molecules.

The virial theorem relates the expectation values of potential energy and kinetic energy in atoms and molecules. We calculate that for the hydrogen 1s orbital, as for all atomic and molecular wavefunctions, their ratio is -2.
