Abstract
The AMO function of the hydrogen molecule Ο = Ο~c~ + Ξ· Ο~i~, where Ο~c~ is the covalent part and Ο~i~ the ionic part, is investigated for small internuclear distances R. We found Ξ· β β1 as R β,β1 as R β 0, contrary to the intuitively expected limit Ξ· β 1. However, near R = 0 an analytical expression of Ο is derived, showing that Ο reduces to the helium ground state as R β 0. We have proved that the empirical concept βcovalent and ionic characterβοΈ should be replaced by the symmetry argument in the case of small R.

## Abstract There are wellβestablished mathematical relationships for the energy of a diatomic molecule (the exact energy, but also both the HartreeβFock and ThomasβFermi energies) in the limit of large nuclear charge of the atoms and small internuclear distances. We present calculated energies for
