The water Hamiltonian

Write down the full Hamiltonian for a water molecule including the terms for the 10 electrons and the 3 nuclei (You don't have to write out all the electron-electron terms. Just make it clear how many terms there are and what form they have.)

Write down the Hamiltonian for just the electrons in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.

Write down the Hamiltonian for the electrons after the electron-electron interactions have been neglected.
