In your text the harmonic oscillator is treated by the so-called "analytic" method, which involves Solving Schrodinger's differential equation for eigen functions (ware functions) directly and using (x²) by these eigen functions to obtain average values such as 2x²) 4 me integration. there is another useful and informative approach known as the " algebraic" (or "ladder operator") method, based solely on commutation relations, that avoids the somentat tedious process of solving directly and evaluating an integralls to obtain average values and other quantities, this the thod is developed in the following for the 11 The badder operators

Spin orbitals are products of spatial and spin wavefunctions, but correct antisymmetric forms of wavefunctions for multielectron atoms are sums and differences of spatial wavefunctions. Explain why acceptable antisymmetric wavefunctions are sums and differences that is, combinations instead of products of spatial wavefunctions.
