Abstract
It is shown from statistical theory that the binding energy for positive ions may be expressed in a power series expansion of reciprocal effective charge. An analytical expression enabling one to calculate the nonrelativistic binding energy for an atom with an arbitrary degree of ionization in good agreement with the results of the SCF-method is obtained. Convenient formulae for the calculation of the correlation energy for an atom are presented
