ABSTRACT
This method enables one to calculate the binding energy of the ground state accurately for hydrogen molecule in a close form. Also, one can calculate the ground state binding energy of alkali metal homonuclear diatomic molecules. Ground state molecular energies can be calculated only by knowing the respective atomic ground and first excited state principle quantum numbers with their atomic ionization potential. This was possible by considering a bound electron as a vibrating string around a nucleus. The method exploits the Compton wavelength of an electron as a natural unit of length for atomic and molecular systems.
