The solutions to the Schrdinger equation are written as H(RN;re )(RN;re ) = E(RN;re ) In the Born - Oppenheimer approximation we fix the nuclei in space and solve : {H - TN } (re ) = He (re ) = Ee (re ) Both E and will depend on at r what geometry (RN ) we fixed the nuclei Thus both E and depends on the parameter RN
We can thus write He (re , RN ) (re , RN ) = Ee (RN ) (re , RN )
A molecular potential energy curve. The equilibrium bond length corresponds to the energy minimum.
Hence we can find the wavefunction for the motion of the nuclei from the Schrdinger equation

You should be aware that the nuclear wavefunction can be obtained from {TN + E(R N )}(R N ) = (R N ) which can be reduced to the Schrdinger eauation for the harmonic oscillator
