Abstract
Since 1913, Bohr's planetary model for atomic structure has been predominant, but recent analyses suggest that collective quantization of atomic valence shells containing two electrons may be more valid. The history and evidence for these two extreme paradigms are presented and some of the potentially observable consequences are discussed briefly.Keywords
