Mathematical Derivation and Standardized Empirical Verification System for Atomic Orbits

yang liu

This paper presents a self‑consistent mathematical derivation and standardized empirical verification system for atomic orbitals, built upon first‑principles geometric postulates of the vacuum quantum medium. A fourth‑power scaling relation is rigorously derived from four‑dimensional geometric projection, together with reference constants defined using the proton Compton wavelength. Spherical‑wave geometric corrections and a layered orbital recurrence relation are constructed to describe three‑dimensional atomic orbital hierarchies, yielding exclusive falsifiable predictions for high‑lying Rydberg states. A classical dynamical picture for electron motion inside confining geometry is proposed, and a piecewise radial probability‑density function is given with closed‑form integral verification. A feasible, reproducible spectroscopic experimental protocol is provided to test core theoretical predictions. This framework achieves mathematical closure and offers alternative interpretations for atomic‑scale phenomena, compatible with established experimental observation workflows.

A novel spacetime concept for describing electronic motion within a helium atom

Kunming Xu

Euclidean space and linear algebra do not characterize dynamic electronic orbitals satisfactorily for even the motion of both electrons in an inert helium atom cannot be defined in reasonable details. Here the author puts forward a novel two-dimensional spacetime model from scratch in the context of defining both electrons in a helium atom. Space and time are treated as two orthogonal, symmetric and complementary quantities under the atomic spacetime. Electronic motion observed the rule of differential and integral operations that were implemented by dynamic trigonometric functions. It is demonstrated that the atomic spacetime is not a linear vector space with Newtonian time, and within which calculus has non-classical definition, and complex wave functions have fresh physical significances. This alternative approach is original, informative and refreshing but still compatible with quantum mechanics in the formulation. The description of electronic resonance in helium is also comparable with classical mechanics such as an oscillating pendulum and with classical electromagnetism such as an LC oscillator. The study has effectively unified complex function, calculus, and trigonometry in mathematics, and provided a prospect for unifying particle physics with classical physics on the novel spacetime platform.

Towards Quantum Mechanics

Amita Dua, Chayannika Singh

The results of Bohr model can be used to explain the motion of macroscopic objects or big objects (like orbiting planets and sun, falling stone etc.). These macroscopic objects have essentially a particle nature and Newtonian laws of motion can be applied on them. But it fails when applied to explain the motion of microscopic objects or small objects (like electrons, atoms, molecules etc.). This is because: According to Bohr model, an orbit is a well-defined path and this path can completely be defined only if both the position and velocity of the electron are known exactly at the same time. But this is not possible according to the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Thus, Bohr model contradicts the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle . According to Bohr model, an electron is regarded as a charged particle moving in well-defined circular orbits concentric about the nucleus. The wave character of the electron is not considered. Thus, Bohr model ignores the de-Broglie dual nature of matter .
