The Spherical Atom Model of Helium Based on the Theorem of Niels Bohr ()
ABSTRACT
Proceeding from the double-cone
model of Helium, based on Bohr’s theorem and recently published in [13], a spherical
modification could be made by introducing a second electron rotation which
exhibits a rotation axis perpendicular to the first one. Thereby, each rotation
is induced by the spin of one electron. Thus the trajectory of each electron
represents the superposition of two separate orbits, while each electron is
always positioned opposite to the other one. Both electron velocities are equal
and constant, due to their mutual coupling. The 3D electron orbits could be
2D-graphed by separately projecting them on the x/z-plane of a Cartesian
coordinate system, and by plotting the evaluated x-, y- and z-values versus the
rotation angle. Due to the decreased electron velocity, the resulting radius is
twice the size of the one in the double-cone model. Even if distinct evidence
is not feasible, e.g. by means of X-ray crystallographic data, this modified
model appears to be the more plausible one, due to its higher cloud coverage,
and since it comes closer to Kimball’s charge cloud model.
