## Abstract A new derivation of the Born–Oppenheimer separation of electronic and nuclear motion is presented. The arguments used differ from those in earlier works in not being specially designed for molecules. Instead they aim at an intuitive understanding of the qualitative behavior of the low e

A discussion is attempted of the validity of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation which is characterized as an asymptotic analysis leading to a semiclassical theory of molecular structure. It is suggested that there are inherent defects in the resulting semiclassical theory which will limit its utilit
