Question:

One can show that (see Eyring, Walter, and Kimball, p. 369)
One can show that (see Eyring, Walter, and Kimball, p.

where r is the larger of r1 and r2. Substitute this expansion into (9.52). Then multiply the right side by

One can show that (see Eyring, Walter, and Kimball, p.

Which from (5.101) equals 1. Use the orthonormality of the spherical harmonics [Eq. (7.27)] to evaluate the angular integrals in terms of Kronecker deltas. Perform the sums to show that

One can show that (see Eyring, Walter, and Kimball, p.

Next, integrate first over r1 and write the r1 integral as the sum of integrals from 0 to r2 and from r2 to . In the range 0 ( r1 ( r2, we have r> = r2; in the range r2 ( r1 ( (, we have r> = r1. Use indefinite integrals in the Appendix to do the r1 integrals to obtain r2 integrals, which are evaluated using an Appendix integral. Show that the result is (9.53).
