For the same electron of the hydrogen atom, the left side of the equation is the mechanical kinetic energy, the right side of the equation is the charge energy, the fundamental properties and the concept of energy are split.

Preface Although great achievements have been made in the field of quantum mechanics, in fact, there are still serious problems in the basic theory. The “tunnel effect” is a typical non conservation theory of energy in quantum mechanics, and is the product of problems in the basic theory. The theoretical formula (Yang, 2014)   hmV 2 2 1 of photoelectric effect is the basis of quantum mechanics “tunnel effect” and Bohr hydrogen atom theory. Because the formula of photoelectric effect theory is not correct, the “tunnel effect” and Bohr hydrogen atom theory have serious theoretical problems. Based on the charge momentum and charge kinetic energy (Yuan, 2015, 2016), this paper analyzes and studies the basic theoretical problems of Bohr hydrogen atom theory, “tunnel effect” and photoelectric effect theory. At the same time, the internal consistency and stages (Yuan, 2018) of the evolution of the energy structure of hydrogen atom and the evolution of the universe are discussed through the evolution of the material structure energy (Yuan, 2013, 2014). 2. Charge Operation Mechanism Constructed by Charge Momentum and Charge Kinetic Energy Construction of Charge Momentum and Charge Kinetic Energy Mechanism (Yuan, 2015, 2016) Charge Momentum: QVP  (1) Charge Kinetic Energy: 2 2 1 QVW  (2) Where: Q is the charge and V is the charge velocity. According to equation (2), the equation of electron kinetic energy accelerated by electric field U can be established: 21 2 eV eU (3) The electron velocity 2V U is obtained from equation (3). According to the momentum and kinetic energy properties of the charge, the centripetal force of the charge moving in a circle and the coulomb force equilibrium formula: 2 2 0 2 4 1 r e r V e   (4) Get: 2 04 1 V e r   Substituting 2V U into the above formula, the solution is: U e re  08 1  (5) www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/asir Applied Science and Innovative Research Vol. 7, No. 2, 2023 20 Published by SCHOLINK INC. In formula (5), the atomic radius er is marked with angle mark e because this radius is the result of deduction and calculation by electronic charges (3) and (4). In this paper, the related physical quantities determined by Bohr’s theory are marked with mass angle m , such as the radius mr of hydrogen atom, without further explanation. 3. Basic Theoretical Problems in the Construction of Bohr’s Hydrogen Atom Theory 3.1 Two Basic Formulas of Bohr’s Hydrogen Atom Theory Coulomb force of electrons running around the nucleus: 2 0 22 4 mm r e r V m   (6) Quantization of orbital conditions: mm nmVrL  (7) The radius mr of hydrogen atom is obtained from Formula (6) and (7):        2 2 02 me h nr mm     ,2,1n (8) Let 1mn in Formula (8), get: mrm 111029.5  3.2 The Energy of Hydrogen Atom in Bohr Theory When the electron is running on a radius mr orbit, the distance is selected as the zero point of the electrostatic potential energy of the system, and its electrostatic kinetic energy and potential energy are respectively (Jing, Du, & Jin, 2008): m k r e mVE 0 2 2 82 1   ; m p r e E 0 2 4  Its total energy is: mmm pkm r e r e r e EEE 0 2 0 2 0 2 848   (9) Substituting the radius mr of formula (8) into formula (9), the energy of hydrogen atom:          22 0 4 2 8 1 h me n E m m  (10) Let 1mn obtain from equation (10): 22 0 4 8 h me Em   (11) The solution is: eVEm 6.13 www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/asir Applied Science and Innovative Research Vol. 7, No. 2, 2023 21 Published by SCHOLINK INC. 3.3 On the Basic Theoretical Problems of Bohr’s Hydrogen Atom Theory Bohr’s theory of hydrogen atom is based on the theory of photoelectric effect, and the problem lies in the basic theory of photoelectric effect. “According to Einstein, when light hits the metal surface, the photon with energy hv is absorbed by the electron. The electron uses part of this energy to overcome its binding on the metal surface, and the other part is the kinetic energy of the electron after leaving the metal surface. This energy relationship can be written as:   hmV 2 2 1 (12) That is, the energy hv of the photon minus the binding energy (stripping work) of the electron in the metal is equal to the maximum kinetic energy of the electron.” As we know, electrons have mass and charge at the same time. The left side of formula (6) is the centripetal force of electron mass, and the right side is the coulomb force of electron. The left side of formula does not consider the movement of electron charge, but artificially establishes an equivalent physical relationship between the centripetal force of electron mass and the coulomb force of electron charge. The theoretical formula of photoelectric effect is based on the balance between photon mass kinetic energy 2 2 1 mV and electric field energy  h , while ignoring the main term of electric field energy balance of electron charge kinetic energy 2 2 1 QV . As a result, the ultra-high-speed running state of electron mass around the core is artificially caused, and the relativistic thinking of electron motion is introduced, which leads to the so-called “tunnel effect” and other basic theoretical problems in quantum mechanics. Considering the basic fact that electric charge flows to form current, how powerful electric energy will be generated when the outer electrons of hydrogen atom circle the nucleus at super high speed! Obviously, the ultrahigh speed movement of electrons around the nucleus is incorrect, and the theoretical formula of photoelectric effect is invalid. The energy non conservation of Bohr hydrogen atom theory and “tunnel effect” is the result of the problems in the basic theory of photoelectric effect. 4. Calculate Hydrogen Atomic Radius with Chemical Reaction Energy of Hydrogen Oxide (Water) and Lithium Oxide “It has been proved from various experiments that the atomic radius is of the order of 1010 . Therefore, the radius of the electron orbit will not be reduced to the size of the atomic nucleus, and the electron must run in a stable orbit with a radius of order of m1010 ” (Zhu, 1979). The radius of the www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/asir Applied Science and Innovative Research Vol. 7, No. 2, 2023 22 Published by SCHOLINK INC. Bohr hydrogen atom is mrm 111029.5  , which is much smaller than the average atomic radius, and it is very unusual. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the radius of hydrogen atom on the basis of physical experiment. 4.1 The Basis of Analogy between Hydrogen Atom and Lithium Atom Both hydrogen atom and lithium atom have a single electron in their outer shell, which is the closest in atomic structure and is highly comparable to each other in the periodic table. 4.2 The Covalent Bonding Energy between the Elements is Determined by the Outer Electrons of Chemical Elements (Li & Feng, 1965). The Combination of Hydrogen and Lithium Atoms with Oxygen Atoms is Considered as the Combination Energy of the Outer Electrons of the Two Atoms with Oxygen Generation of hydrogen oxide (water): At C025 and 1 atmospheric pressure, 1 Grammolecule of hydrogen combines with 2 1 Grammolecule of oxygen to form 1 Grammolecule of water: leGrammolecuKcalOHOH /4.68 2 1 222  (13) Generation of lithium oxide (Ge, 1966): leGrammolecuKcalOLiOLi /143 2 1 2 22  (14) Hydrogen atomic charge energy: H H r e E 2 08 1   (15) Lithium atomic charge energy: . 2 08 1 Li Li r e E   (16) Let the outer electron charge energy of oxygen atom be: OE , Charge energy of the water molecules: OHE 2 , Charge energy of lithium oxide molecules: OLiE 2 , Because the molecular charge energy is mainly determined by a single electron in the outer layer of hydrogen and lithium, so that OLiOH EE 22  , From the above: Combined energy of hydrogen and oxygen: JEEE OHOH 5106819.2 2  (17) Combined energy of lithium and oxygen: JEEE OLiOLi 5109858.5 2  (18) Formula (18) minus Formula (17): JEE HLi 5103039.3  (19) www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/asir Applied Science and Innovative Research Vol. 7, No. 2, 2023 23 Published by SCHOLINK INC. 4.3 Hydrogen Atom Radius Determined by Combining Energy Substitute formula (15) and (16) into formula (19), and divide by the number of Grammolecule: 23 52 0 2 0 1002.6 103039.3 8 1 8 1    J r e r e HLi  (20) Substitute relevant physical constants and lithium atomic radius (Yang, Zhu, Zhao, & Lin, 1982) pmrLi 152 into formula (20), and get hydrogen atom radius: mrH 10109772.1  (21) Substitute hydrogen atom radius mrH 10109772.1  into formula (15) to get Ground state energy of hydrogen atom: eVEH 6223.3 The spectral energy level eV4.3 of Balmer spectrum in the contrast experiment is basically consistent. That is, the spectral energy level of Balmer spectrum is the ground state energy level of hydrogen atom. 4.4 Testing Hydrogen Atom Radius er in Formula (5) by Ground State Energy HE of Hydrogen Atom Formula (5) is the result of the inference of charge momentum and charge kinetic energy. Through ground state energy HE of hydrogen atom, hydrogen atom radius er determined by Formula (5) is also a test of whether charge momentum and charge kinetic energy are correct or not. Substitute voltage VU 6223.3 of ground state energy into formula (5),  m U e re 10 19 12 0 109772.1 6223.3 10602.1 109.88 1 8 1          That is, He rr  Therefore, charge momentum and charge kinetic energy have experimental basis and are correct. 5.

Therefore, the objective existence and rationality of the setting of Bohr’s hydrogen atom theory 1mn should be analyzed and judged. 5.2.1 Discussion on Hydrogen Atom Theory Corresponding to 1 em nn Let 1en , according to formula (26): eVEe 121039.2  Compare eVEm 6.13- with eVEe 121039.2  , The system energy of the same substance www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/asir Applied Science and Innovative Research Vol. 7, No. 2, 2023 25 Published by SCHOLINK INC. should be the same, but under the condition of 1 em nn , there is a huge energy difference between hydrogen atoms electron mass kinetic energy and electron charge kinetic energy in the same system, which is obviously illogical. Let 1en , according to formula (24), hydrogen atom radius: mre 22100248.3  Divide equation (8) by equation (25): m e n n r r e m e m  2 2 (27) 5.2.2 Analysis of Equation (27) (1) The correlation between radius mr and er determined by equation (27) Let em rr  , 1mn , then formula (27): 1 1 2  m e ne , solve: m e ne  (28) (2) Substituting hydrogen’s ground state energy eVEH 6223.3 into the formula (26), solve: 5 0 2 100861.8 226223.3 1  h e ne  (29) Substituting 5100861.8 en into (26) is as follows:             22 0 5 25 810.08618 1 h e Ee  (30) According to the general expansion of hydrogen atom spectrum by formula (30), the spectral frequency corresponding to the energy level is: When 1k , it is the Balmer system spectrum                     2232 0 5 25 11 810.08618 11~ nkch e EE ch kn   ( ,4,3,2n ) (31) 5.2.3 Discussion on the Physical Meaning of When 1n From the quantization of the electron mass orbital condition a, when 1n is the starting point of the quantization condition. The implicit premise of setting 1n is to treat the hydrogen atom as an immutable structure, that is, the present hydrogen atom structure is still at its original starting point.Does the structure of the hydrogen atom not evolve for billions of years? This is obviously www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/asir Applied Science and Innovative Research Vol. 7, No. 2, 2023 26 Published by SCHOLINK INC. inconsistent with the fact that the structure of matter can evolve (Yuan, 2013), the decay (Yuan, 2009) of nuclides and the decay (Guo, Zhao, & Peng, 2010) of element  . Thinking about 1 0  em nn is equivalent to thinking about the current state of the hydrogen atom as the beginning of the evolution of the universe, the beginning of the process. How is it possible to determine the ground state energy of a hydrogen atom exactly in terms of 1 0  em nn ? It is precisely because the ground state energy eV6.13 of the hydrogen atom given by 1mn is that it will be abnormally different from its similar alkali metal work out (Wang & Zhou, 2008): lithium (Li) 2.49 eV , natrium (Na) 2.28 eV , and kalium (K) 2.22 eV . The evolution of the universe is a process, so is the evolution of the material structure (Yuan, 2018). How can we think that today, billions of years after the evolution of the universe, the structure of the hydrogen atom can be set to 1mn for calculation? Therefore, the actual physical meaning implied by the initial state value is worthy of careful study. Physics is based on experiments and exists in reality. The historical process of material evolution has been merged into the constants of physical formulas through physical experiments. In other words, the essential meaning of physical constants is the historical precipitation in the process of material evolution, which is the bridge between the present and history. The evolution of the universe and the change of the structure and energy of matter determine that it is impossible for Bohr’s theory of hydrogen atom to coincide with the actual state of the current evolution of the universe under the condition of 1n . 5.3 The Discussion about Electron Mass Kinetic Energy and Electron Charge Kinetic Energy When electron e moves in electric field (Yuan, 2015) 12 EEU  , the kinetic energy of electron motion should be the sum of electron mass kinetic energy and electron charge kinetic energy. Formula (3) shall be expressed as:   eUVem  2 2 1 (32) Then the total energy of the electron is:   r e Vem 0 2 2 82 1   (33) Because 22 2 1 2 1 mVeV  , ignore 2 2 1 mV , equation c can be rewritten as: r e eV 0 2 2 82 1   (34) www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/asir Applied Science and Innovative Research Vol. 7, No. 2, 2023 27 Published by SCHOLINK INC. By formula (32) and (34), there are: r e U 08  (35) 5.4 A Discussion of the Electron Velocity of Hydrogen Atom around the Nucleus as Determined by Equations (4) and (6) Hydrogen atom radius is mre 10109772.1  in Equation (4), and hydrogen atom radius is radius mrm 111029.5  in Equation (6), From Equation (4), we can get:  sm r e V e e 6917.2 109772.1109.84 106021.1 4 1012 19 0        (36) From Equation (6), we can get: )/(101846.2 1029.5109.8101.94 106021.1 4 6 111231 19 00 sm rm e V m m        (37) Compared with the calculation results of formula (36) and formula (37), the velocity deviation between  smVe 6917.2 and )/(101846.2 6 smVm  is huge, and the electron velocity mV calculated by formula (6) can’t explain the Huge electric field energy problem caused by electron charge in such high-speed motion. It can be seen that the thinking of Formula (6) is unreasonable. According to Equation (4), the motion velocity smVe 6917.2 of the electron around the nucleus can be obtained. It can be seen that the motion of the electron around the nucleus is very low, so there is no need to consider relativity. 6. Conclusion and Discussion This paper demonstrates the problems existing in the basic theory of Bohr’s theory of hydrogen atom through two ways. First, it demonstrates the ground state energy eE of the hydrogen atom, hydrogen atom radius er , the motion velocity eV of the electron around the nucleus, and hydrogen atom spectrum with the theory construction of charge momentum and charge kinetic energy, and demonstrates the irrationality of these four physical quantities of Bohr’s theory of hydrogen atom theory. And from the aspect of evolution of the universe, the irrationality of the condition setting of Bohr’s theory of hydrogen atom theory n equals 1 is demonstrated. www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/asir Applied Science and Innovative Research Vol. 7, No. 2, 2023 28 Published by SCHOLINK INC. Second, the experiment of hydrogen atom structure is demonstrated by the combined reaction energy of hydrogen oxide (water) and lithium oxide. the ground state energy eE of the hydrogen atom and hydrogen atom radius er were calculated, and the experimental basis of hydrogen atom theory was constructed. It is proved that hydrogen atom radius er and Hr obtained by the two approaches are equal, which also proves the correctness of the construction of charge momentum and charge kinetic energy theory and its experimental basis. According to ground state energy HE of the hydrogen atom obtained in this paper, when hydrogen atom obtains the ground state excited energy eV6223.3 , it will radiate Balmer spectrum, and it is impossible to appear the excited radiation state of the energy eV6.13 . In theory construction, a theory construction chain phenomenon is often formed. If there are problems in the basic theory of this construction chain, it may become an insurmountable obstacle of theoretical research chain, which not only produces some wrong understanding, but also leads the artificial interpretation of relevant experimental data. In the aspect of physics research and the solution of related problems, we will find that people tend to use equivalence, fitting and empirical formula consciously or unconsciously to bypass the problems existing in the basic theory and solve the problems encountered in an empirical way. For example, “tunneling” is used to explain nonconservation of energy (Yuan, 2018) that cannot be explained by quantum mechanics. In astrophysics, empirical formulas are fitted with experimental data to solve the problems of satellite orbit (Yuan, 2012). Such thinking and analysis methods not only affect our theoretical thinking, but also affect our correct analysis of experimental results. We should pay careful attention to the thinking of problems in basic theory, which is the root of theoretical construction. We should not be too confident in the construction of basic theory. We should re-examine and rethink the basic theory, including the construction of the basic theory of astrophysics (Yuan, 2022). References Ge, L. S. (1966). Translated by Rujing.
