We can apply perturbation to Helium. ıt has two electrons. But Mercury has lots of electrons. in this case, can we apply perturbation to Mercury? How?

I'm not sure. If so it would be much more difficult than helium due to its much greater complexity.
 
Thanks, for your comment. İt is really diffucult. it will be Lots of interaction potential in the perturbation term. İndeed, each of electron are identical. But in this time How will write the distances?

Each individual electron is identical, but not their orbitals. Thats why it's hard. :smile:

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
