Abstract
Semiclassical oscillation of the electron through the nucleus of the H atom yields both the exact energy and the correct orbital angular momentum for l=0 quantum states. Similarly, electron oscillation through the nuclei of H2+ accounts for a stable molecule ion with energy close to the quantum mechanical solution. The small discrepancy arises from the neglect of the electron's wave nature.
