  • Abstract
    Classical physics, which includes Maxwell´s equations, a hundred years ago couldn´t explain the stability of atoms, the periodic table of elements, the chemical bond, the discrete excitation energies of atoms and their energetic state, the ionization of atoms, the spectra, including its fine structure and transition rules, experimental evidence about x-ray spectra and the behavior of atoms in electric and magnetic fields, the properties of the matter in solid state. That was the reason why classical physics fails when applied to the atomic area, i.e. to the area of nanometers or below. Now the situation has changed. It´s because within the framework of classical physics, with the help of Maxwell´s equations, we can derive Schrödinger´s equation, which is the foundation of quantum physics. With this new knowledge all of the above can now be explained within the framework of classical physics. This article describes the procedure for obtaining the equation, which replaces the Schrödinger´s equation using classical physics.
