New Atomic Model

Instead of the old atomic models, in which electrons are orbiting the nucleus, a new atomic model is proposed, in which the electron and proton are not separated in the atom but exist in the form of protium, called the plecton. A neutron combined with a plecton plays a role to be the elementary building block of the atom. In the new atomic model, the plecton and neutron in the atom are in dynamic equilibrium and exchange their forms and energy constantly. The building block piles up spherically and makes a collection of 4He units to be stable elements. The maximum plecton number (or the number of plecton-neutron pairs) in the outmost shell of an inert atom increases with the square of the reduced atomic radius. This new atomic model gives a perfect match with the current periodic table of elements and the specific quantum number of each constituent plecton (formerly electron) in the atom.
