Planetary Model of a Helium Atom

Abstract

The relevance of the problem under study is driven by the need to identify physical causes that ensure the stability of atoms without resorting to arbitrarily accepted postulates, e.g. in the form of N. Bohr’s postulates, or the formalism of quantum mechanics.

The goal of the paper is to construct and investigate a planetary model of a helium atom, which would demonstrate the stability of the atom and show the mechanism of formation of its radiation spectrum.

The Systematic Theory of the Electrical Phenomena (STEP) developed by the author on the basis of the propositions of theoretical mechanics served as theoretical grounds for the study.

The main results of the study are as follows:

1. a physically meaningful model of a helium atom has been constructed, demonstrating the stability of the atom against perturbations of the electron orbit;

2. the explanation has been given to the mechanism of formation of the line spectrum of atomic radiation;

3. foundations have been laid for the method of modelling of electrical phenomena based on the understanding of the electric field as a continuous material medium.

The presented materials demonstrate a new method of modelling of force interaction in systems whose elements are charged bodies, and can be used when constructing models of any multi-electron systems.
