An Elementary Algebraic Method for Approximating Average Radii of First and Secong Ring Electrons
Abstract
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: In this paper, experimental ionization energies are used to
determine algebraic equations whose solutions approximate
relativistic quantum mechanical estimates of average atomic
radii. These algebraic equations are nonlinear and are solved
on a digital computer by Newton's method. Pairing is an
essential element in the formulation.
