We construct a scheme to calculate the charge form factors for the elastic electron scattering. Our calculation is based on the relativistic eikonal approximation and the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock equation. To perform our calculation and benchmark the results, eight model nuclei with available experimental data: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] are considered. For the comparison, the charge form factors calculated by the relativistic mean-field (RMF) model are also provided. Parameter set SLy5 is utilized for the Skyrme force, and the set NL3 is applied for the RMF model. It has been confirmed that combining of a nonrelativistic treatment for the target nucleus with a relativistic treatment for the incident electron may work better to reach highly descriptive and predictive results similar to the pure relativistic treatment. The results of this work are also useful for future experiments to test different inputs of densities for a specific nucleus.
