Rydberg Number

A conventional statement of the Rydberg formula

$E_{\mathsf{Bohr}} = hc \mathcal{R}_{\mathbf{H}} \left( \dfrac{1}{{\rm{n}}_{f}^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{{\rm{n}}_{i}^{2}} \right)$

where $\mathcal{R}_{\mathbf{H}}$ is the Rydberg number for hydrogen.

So the models work by requiring that

$hc \mathcal{R}_{\mathbf{H}} = 2 \left| \, H_{chem}^{\mathcal{A}} \right|$

This condition is obtained from the distribution of electrochemical quarks, which in the case of atomic hydrogen, is that there are eight quarks of each type. Other conditions and distributions are used to represent observations of atomic bonds, isotopes and hydrogenic atoms.

The Rydberg number for hydrogen is given¹Reduced mass: Eisberg and Resnick, page 105. by

$\mathcal{R}_{\mathrm{H}} \equiv \mathcal{R}_{\infty} \dfrac{m_{\mathsf{p}}}{m_{\mathsf{p}} + m_{\mathsf{e}}}$
