I continue to have problems understanding the current picture of the
Atom and its interactions with the electron, as explained by Modern
Physics. I prefer this model:

My thoughts are that an electron is continually trying to unite with
the positive charge in the nucleus. The more excited electrons are able
to exist farther from the nucleus. Also the electrons which are
considered valance electrons are traveling in random directions and can
easily migrate between atoms. In fact it is my understanding that the
shininess of metals is due to the free electron travel. However, as
individual electrons as pulled close to the atom and strike the
nucleons, which are all on the order of 2000 times the size of the
electron....depending on the size and makeup of the nucleus the impact
of the electrons with the surface causes the electrons to bounce off of
the nucleons. At all energy levels other than the ones which would
cause the resonant frequency or harmonics of the nucleus, the energy is
delivered back to the electron causing the electron to bounce back.
However at the resonant frequency and harmonics the nucleons vibrate
and oscillate which cause radiation or photon emission.  The more
energy the electron has the higher the bounce. Other factors play in on
the electrons rebounding , like the electron's angle of impact etc.

So the radiation is related to the resonance of the nucleus and NOT the
size of the atom which is closer to gamma rays instead of visible
light. This is also why the wavelength of the radiation is so much
longer than the traditional electron orbits or size of the atoms. This
also explains the probability points for the electron described by the
Quantum Physics folks.

The outer most point the electron bounces to, would be higher depending
on the energy level of the electron when it impacted the nucleus. The
valance electrons in their outer most points would be drawn back in for
another bounce, unless another charged ion pulled the electron into its
orbit.

Now consider the electron bouncing to its outer most position and then
being pulled into an adjacent ionic atom and bouncing back out and then
being pulled back into the original atom. In this way the atoms form
covalent bonds and then form molecules.

Also, the intense force of the electrons bouncing into the nucleus
would tend to keep the nucleus tightly bound as the random electrons
are constantly attempting to move toward the center of the atom but are
bounced back by the neutrons and protons in the atom.  The nucleons are
releasing energy (photons) by vibrating oscillating at only the
specific frequencies and harmonics determined by the makeup of the
nucleons.

Of course the frequency of the oscillations is determined by the energy
level imparted to the striking electron. This is how energy and
frequency get confused when we speak of light.  If I energize an
electron it smacks the nucleus harder.

If for example we strike a bell, and the bell rings at its resonance
modes. Normally if we strike it harder the bell rings at the same tone,
only louder. Now imagine a nonlinearity in the bell like a small crack
or deformity. We strike the bell and it rings normally. Striking it
harder we find, to our surprise, that the tone changes in frequency.
Striking it even harder, the tone changes even further in frequency.
This frequency shift is a manifestation of nonlinearity due to the
presence of the crack, or nonlinearity. My supposition is that the
nucleus contains nonlinearities and will issue harmonics based on the
nonlinearities in the nucleus. The difference in nonlinearities of the
nucleus make up the quanta characteristics of the Atom.

Any thoughts on this?
