<p>Create/expand category description</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>This category collects work on the &#039;&#039;&#039;structure of the atom&#039;&#039;&#039; — how electrons are arranged around the nucleus, why the Periodic Table has the shape it does, and what physical account can be given of atomic spectra and chemical bonding.<br /> <br /> The standard treatment is the quantum shell model: orbitals as solutions of the Schrödinger equation, filled according to the Pauli exclusion principle, with shell occupancies following 2n². The alternatives collected here generally begin instead from particles with real geometry and ask what arrangements are physically stable — deriving shell sizes from packing and magnetic constraints rather than from a counting rule over states, and taking seriously the classical objection that orbiting charges must radiate.<br /> <br /> Entries include geometric and packing models of the shells, classical and semi-classical accounts of spectra, models of chemical bonding, and reconstructions of the Periodic Table from structural principles.
