-Diagonalize the modified LCAO Hamiltonian. Find the ground state wavefunction $ψ$.
+Diagonalize the modified LCAO Hamiltonian. Find the ground state wavefunction $ψ$. Note: for simplicity assume that the electric field is small, such that $\gamma \ll t$, with $\gamma = e d \mathcal{E}/2$.
 #### Question 4.
 Find the polarization $P$ of the molecule in the ground state.
