| Oct 2, 2022 at 5:43 | comment | added | uhoh | Do their wave functions have any angular dependence? If $n=1$ then $l=0$, so $Y_l^m(\theta, \psi)$ which has $\exp(im \phi)$ and $P_l^m(\cos \theta)$ dependence should be constant. I'm not very good at this, but I don't see any place where a phase can be defined. Unless their spins are opposite I don't think there's any other way that they can differ unless you excite one of them to $n > 1$. | |
| Oct 2, 2022 at 3:02 | comment | added | bzd | @uhoh By "opposite phase" I was imagining, whether the two 1 electron orbitals could be "out of phase" with respect to each other, similar to how we can write $1σ^*$ as linear combination of two out of phase 1s orbitals. | |
