MODELLO DELL'ATOMO, TEORIA QUANTISTICA E TAVOLA PERIODICA DEGLI ELEMENTI

Abstract

In this paper I attempt to sketch the path that brought from the Table of the Elements, essentially born in an chemical context, to its explanation in the framework of Atomic Physics.Thist involves the most advanced formalisms of Theoretical Physics, Quantum Mechanics and even Quantum Field Theory. I try to stress that the Table together with Spectroscopy has been among the main problems that have stimulated and even addressed the research in the latter frameworks.
