Abstract:
The periodic features of atoms are studied using a statistical model embellished with exchange and correlation. It is shown that the earlier results, obtained on the basis of the simple TF model, can be computed in an analytic form by using the Tietz approximation. Single-particle energy levels of neutral atoms are calculated following the approach outlined by us in an earlier publication (Jain and Kumar 1967), and are compared with those obtained by other methods. A new angular momentum assignment is proposed and is shown to give values of v(l, Z) (the number of electrons with orbital angular momentum quantum number l, in an atom of atomic number Z) which are in very close agreement with the empirical values. The relativistic mass–velocity correction is incorporated in the calculation of angular-momentum groups. Finally, some suggestions are made for improving the present formalism.
