I am having a trouble to understand why the helium's wave function (in which we are ignoring the electric interaction between the electrons, as well the motion and problems that arise in considering the nucleus in the wave function) can be written as the product of the wave function of both electron.
I mean, being the electron fermion particles, shouldn't it be written as:
$$\psi = (\psi_{(nlm)'}(r1)\psi_{nlm}(r2) - \psi_{(nlm)'}(r2)\psi_{nlm}(r1))/{\sqrt(2)}$$
?
