Abstract
Easy physics-inspired approximations of the total and binding energies for the H atom and for the molecular ions H2(+)(ppe), H3(2+)(pppe), (HeH)++(αpe), He2(3+)(ααe) as well as quadrupole moment for the H atom and the equilibrium distances of the molecular ions in strong magnetic fields > 109 G are proposed. The idea of approximation is based on the assumption that the dynamics of the one-electron Coulomb system in a strong magnetic field is governed by the ratio of transverse to longitudinal sizes of the electronic cloud.
