Abstract
Large scale ab initio SCF and CI calculations are used to investigate the bond angle dependence of the energy and one-electron properties of the water molecule. The SCF wave functions are used to reinvestigate the Hellmann-Feymann force interpretation of Walsh diagrams. The results are much closer to the ideas of Walsh than those obtained by Coulson and Deb.
