Abstract The convergence of the Rayleigh-Ritz Method (RRM) or of CI calculations, respectively, for the non-relativistic electronic Hamiltonian of molecules is investigated using the conventional basis sets of Quantum Chemistry, such as systems of Slater, Gauss and two-electron functions. Conditions for the choice of orbital exponents with respect to Slater and Gauss orbitals are especially given, such that the convergence is guaranteed. Inter alia, in Theorem 10 a proof of the convergence of the RRM for a Hylleraas basis in s,t,u-coordinates is presented, a question which is still being debated today.
