Abstract:
According to the present proposition the electrons are not point particles gravitating around the nucleus like planets around the sun, but that in an atom with several electrons the latter encircle the nucleus like e.g., onionskins [1]. This arrangement gives the atoms and molecules a spherical structure occupying a real volume. It is moreover Rocard's interpretation, which admits that the molecules must be considered as rigid and elastic spheres for the calculation of intermolecular forces [2]
