Notes:
The first part of this paper gives an introduction of different kinds of atomic associations. Furthermore it will be shown that partial systems of united atoms are not only described by their nuclear-charge number, but additionally by their number of electrons. Both characteristics of a partial system of atomic associations may lead to an apparent multiple-valuedness in the transitions between atomic associations. It is shown that the multiple-valuedness of the atomic associations can be understood and eliminated within the Born-Oppenheimer-approximation, which leads to the concept “energyhypersurface”. An example is given by the system {He, H, H, H}+.
