The distinction between a finite system—however large—and an extended one is emphasized. The implications of the very different types of boundary conditions imposed on wave functions for such systems are discussed as well as the role of the long‐range Coulomb potential in the two types of systems. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
