On the chemical potential of the hydrogen atom
It will be shown that the chemical potential, μ , of the hydrogen atom is exactly equal to the negative of its ionization potential I . The result is also valid for any hydrogen-like ion. Thereafter, arguments will be presented that support the idea that for any atom μ = - I + lim r → ∞ δ E c δ ρ ....
