It is shown that there exists a set of relations between position moments r^k (with k being a nonnegative integer) linearly averaged over the wave function. The true wave function must satisfy all of these relations, and therefore they can be used as criteria to assess the accuracy of approximate wave functions. The zero momentum energy formula proposed previously is the simplest case of the present results
