The energy of interaction of a normal helium atom and one excited to the first triplet or singlet metastable state is calculated over a range of nuclear separations from a 0 to 12 a 0 . The Heitler-London method is followed, with inclusion of all non-orthogonality integrals, and using analytic wave functions. Because of identity of the nuclei, g and u states of interaction occur, the energy of the u state having a minimum at about 2·1 a 0 , and a positive maximum of 0·29 and 0·26 eV (for triplet and singlet states respectively) at about 4 a 0 ; the g state is entirely repulsive. Comparison is made with experimental evidence for the binding energy of normal and metastable (triplet) atoms. An estimate is made of the second-order dipole-dipole interaction for large separations, and it seems certain that the first-order interaction dominates at least to 12 a 0 . Methods of calculating the necessary integrals are discussed in an appendix.

Simple analytic wave functions for the lowest even and odd π states of H2+ have been obtained by the procedures described in the first paper of this series. Their accuracy is somewhat higher than that of the lowest σ states treated earlier.
