For the hydrogen molecule H₂, we have two electrons, one on each hydrogen atom, both in the 1s orbital. Let the spatial wavefunctions of the electrons be (\psi_a) (centered on atom A) and (\psi_b) (centered on atom B), and the spin wavefunctions be (\alpha) (spin up) and (\beta) (spin down). The two-particle wavefunctions are constructed _____ _______ _______ _________ ______ _____ _____ __________.
