09-26-2021-2108 - hydrogen-like atom/ion hydrogenic atom

Disco Ball Poster

hydrogen-like atom/ion (usually called a "hydrogenic atom") is any atomic nucleus bound to one electron and thus is isoelectronic with hydrogen. These atoms or ions can carry the positive charge , where  is the atomic number of the atom. Examples of hydrogen-like atoms/ions are hydrogenitself, He+Li2+Be3+ and B4+. Because hydrogen-like atoms/ions are two-particle systems with an interaction depending only on the distance between the two particles, their (non-relativistic) Schrödinger equation can be solved in analytic form, as can the (relativistic) Dirac equation. The solutions are one-electron functions and are referred to as hydrogen-like atomic orbitals.[1]

Other systems may also be referred to as "hydrogen-like atoms", such as muonium (an electron orbiting an antimuon), positronium (an electron and a positron), certain exotic atoms (formed with other particles), or Rydberg atoms (in which one electron is in such a high energy state that it sees the rest of the atom practically as a point charge).
