Title: Does hydrogen have a “radiant state” and a “steady state”?
Post by: Richard777 on 15/01/2020 13:30:45

Hydrogen has a single electron. Two forces may be associated with the electron of hydrogen. The forces act simultaneously.
Force may be represented as a vector. The vectors of force may have a “radiant state” and a “steady state”.  The states may be defined by “conditions” imposed upon the vectors.
The steady state will return the binding energy of the electron, and the radiant state will give the Stephan-Boltzmann constant.
Do conditions imposed upon the vectors represent different states of the electron?

None of that makes sense.
You seem to be making up stuff.

Perhaps you could say that Hydrogen atoms have a "ground state" and "excited states".

In the ground state, it won't radiate electromagnetic energy, because the electron is already in the lowest energy state
- In excited states, the electron could fall back into the ground state and radiate a photon.

To get a Hydrogen atom out of the ground state, it must absorb a photon (or receive an energy input in some form).
