Ionization of a molecule...



     Here are two clarifications for the sloppy wording
 in my previous post:
 a)  The asymptotic limit of
     the  one-electron potential (defined as
     del^2 sqrt(rho)/2 * sqrt(rho)) is related
     to the 1st ionization potential of
     a molecule not the IP of an electron.
 b)  "Barrier to removal of an electron" should be changed to
      "the force an electron is subjected
      to locally in a molecule". One-electron potential is
      the quantum potential and its gradient measures the
      quantum mechanical force on an electron.
