How might that help me? For now, all I can say is that the electron has the same eigen-energy for being in any of the three atoms i.e. in anyone of the three states.
Is that all I can say for the eigen-energies of the system?
Homework Statement
An extra electron is added to one atom of a tri-atomic molecule. The electron has equal probability to jump to either of the other two atoms.
(a) Find the eigen-energies for the system. Assume that the new electron energy ##\bar{E_{0}}## is close to the non-hopping case...
