Abstract
We calculate the ground‐state energy and other physical properties of the hydrogen atom inside a spherical box with an impenetrable wall. We apply the variational method and show that the total, kinetic, and potential energies for the moving nucleus model are greater than those for the case in which the nucleus is clamped at the box center. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A simp!e ansat;: for the gound state of atoms and molecules is proposed which is also suitable for large internuclear dis-tanc~ where pertrxbation theory breaks down. In its simplest form, where only doubly+xcited configurations are included, the ansatz leads to 97.3% of the exact correhtion energy
