Abstract

It is demonstrated that the first-order relativistic correction term to the Schrodinger hamiltonian for the hydrogen-like atom, cannot be used safely even for small values of atomic number, Z, in the variational calculation. A modified form of the operator R is proposed so that one may incorporate it into the variational treatment of molecular systems.
