The full rotational symmetry of the hydrogen atom is lowered to that of the double group of O h . This is done by a cubic field of electric dipoles. Symmetry‐adapted spin orbitals have been calculated and with them the energies of the lowest states as functions of the distance from the dipoles to the atom, the dipole moment, and the size of the atoms forming the dipoles. The Hamiltonian used is obtained by starting with the Dirac equations and then making some simplifications and approximations.
