It is shown that if H is the negative energy operator, and φ any function satisfying the boundary conditions of quantum dynamics and possessing the symmetry properties characteristic of a given spectral series, then E=∫ φ* H φ d τ is a lower limit to the term-value of the lowest level of that series. If the integral is evaluated for various φ, the largest value obtained will be the best approximation to this term value. The method is applied to various electronic configurations with satisfactory results. The degree to which φ approximates the wave function of the state is not determined, but it is shown to be likely that the approximation is not good at large distances from the nucleus.
