In this article we develop in detail a causal model of the hydrogen atom, building on the earlier work of Dewdney and Malik [1] in which they outlined a causal model of the hydrogen atom, focusing more on a causal model of angular momentum measurement and of the EPR experiment. We interpret the resulting formulae differently leading to new electron orbits. We develop in detail the relationship between electron orbits, angular momentum and the quantum potential.

Turning back to Niels Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom, the paper is trying to resolve one of the issues associated with the model.While N. Bohr in the framework of his model did not find any relation between electron's motion in the atom and radiation emitted, there is a reason to believe that the relation is bound to exist.Furthermore, it is already given by Rydberg's formula that expresses the frequency of radiation as a difference of two other frequencies associated in some manner with electron's rotation.Based on this approach a new value for the radius of the ground stationary orbit is calculated.It appears to be more than Bohr's radius by a factor of 1.588.The question why both values for the radius of the ground stationary orbit (Bohr's radius and a new one) are compatible with Rydberg's formula is considered.Finally, what exactly Niels Bohr overlooked in his model of the hydrogen atom, is discussed.It is established that Rydberg's formula can be derived from the more general parameterized postulates, when Niels Bohr used, regardless of the value of the parameter.
