On the energy of electric field in hydrogen atom

General Physics 2009-07-30 v2 Chemical Physics

Abstract

It is shown that hydrogen atom is a unique object in physics having negative energy of electric field, which is present in the atom. This refers also to some hydrogen-type atoms: hydrogen anti-atom, atom composed of proton and antiproton, and positronium.
