Abstract
We examine the procedure to construct the variables of use for the momentum representation in quantum mechanics. The momentum variables must be chosen properly conjugate to the corresponding position space variables, such that valid uncertainty relationships are maintained. We then apply such considerations to the hydrogen atom to obtain the momentum space wave functions corresponding to the position space functions in paraboloidal coordinates. The advantages and disadvantages of employing the momentum representation are explored.
