The author describes molecular behavior in many aspects by means of the hydrogen atomic model,

as there is no general theoretical equation of molecular bond energy. The energy of an electron (1n) and the Bohr radius of the first orbit (aB) in this model are expressed, when the principal quantum

number of n is used, as

1n ¼ me 4

2(4p10) 2h2

n2 ¼ 13:6

n2 (eV) (1:1)

aB ¼ (4p10) 2h2

me2 ¼ 0:053 nm (1:2)

where m, e, 10 and h ¼ 2ph are, respectively, the mass of the electron, unit charge, the dielectric constant of vacuum, and Planck’s constant.
