Notes:
The differences between the anisotropic momentum densities of the isoelectronic molecules N2, CO, and BF are examined by the partial-wave decomposition technique. It is shown that in momentum space a qualitative manifestation of the different bonding situations in these diatomics occurs in the leading anisotropic component of the partial-wave expansion of the momentum density, and a quantitative manifestation in the anisotropy of the kinetic energy tensor. It is found that the isotropic momentum density is monotonically decreasing in these three molecules.
