Chapter 12, Problem 12.17E

If ϕ 1 and ϕ 2 are the individual wavefunctions for electron 1 and electron 2 , identify each overall wavefunction Ψ as symmetric or antisymmetric with respect to exchange of the two electrons. (i.e., ϕ 1 becomes ϕ 2 and vice versa).

(a) Ψ = ϕ 1 + ϕ 2

(b) Ψ = ϕ 1 ϕ 2

(c) Ψ = ϕ 1 2 + ϕ 2 2

(d) Ψ = sin ϕ 1 + sin ϕ 2

(d) Ψ = cos ϕ 1 cos ϕ 2
