Distinguishing the two electrons in a helium atom

Reference no: EM131352882

1. Why is there difficulty in distinguishing the two electrons in a helium atom from each other, but not the two electrons in separated hydrogen atoms? What about a diatomic hydrogen molecule?

2. Explain, without reference to the time-independent Schroedinger equation, why the product form of the eigenfunction of (9-3) immediately implies that the two particles it describes move independently.
