Abstract
The quantum‐mechanical virial theorem is analyzed for those systems which obey nontrivial boundary conditions and for approximate wave functions. The conditions that trial functions have to fulfill are set up in order that every expression derived from the virial theorem can be properly used.

The virial theorem for molecules is shown to have two different forms, one employing the energy gradient the other involving the Hellmann-Feynman force. While the former VT can be fulfilled by a uniform scaling of the basis set, the latter cannot be satisfied in certain basis sets, and can give unre
## Abstract The virial theorem has played an important role in applying quantum mechanics to chemical problems. It has served as one criterion of a satisfactory wave function and its consequences on chemical bonding, molecular structure, and substituent effects have been analyzed extensively. A com
## Abstract The extended Koopmans' theorem has been implemented using multiconfigurational self‐consistent field wave functions calculated with the GAMESS, HONDO, and SIRIUS programs. The results of illustrative calculations are presented for the molecules HF, H~2~O, NH~3~, CH~4~, N~2~, CO, HNC, HC
