Abstract
It is known from previous work that the total electron density matrix for closed-shell atoms in a bare Coulomb field is determined solely by the corresponding s-state contribution. In keeping with this philosophy, an expression is derived for the closed-shell electron density ρn(r) and kinetic energy density tn(r) in terms only of s-state components ρno(r) and tno(r) for arbitrary quantum number n. A proposal for the generalization of the present model for any central field of force is given in the Appendix.
