Applying Perturbation to Mercury: Understanding Electron Behavior"

[zygi]

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.
