What constitutes an atom? The answer may depend on whether you ask a physicist or a chemist. But the complementary views lead to productive overlap in atomic theory. Limiting cases, under high pressures and temperatures, have had a profound impact in a wider context.

Quantum concepts on atom and molecule composition constitute the foundation of modern natural science theories. Thus, in a stationary state the moment of electron motion amount equals the integral multiple from Plank’s constant. This main quantum number and three other together expressly characterize the state of any atom. The repetition factor of atom quantum characteristics is expressed in spectral data for both simple and complex structures.
