Explanation

**Quantization basis** de Broglie standing wave requires constructive interference, integer wavelengths in orbit, otherwise destructive, so only certain radii allowed r_n = n² a₀, a₀=0.53 Å, angular momentum L = n h/2π, de Broglie explains why orbits are stationary - electron wave closed on itself. Volume = (4/3) π R³ . R³ = (4.8 × 10⁻¹⁵)³ = 1.105 × 10⁻⁴³ m³ . Volume = (4/3) × 3.14 × 1.105 × 10⁻⁴³ ≈ 4.63 × 10⁻⁴³ m³ . Using E_n = -13.6/n² eV, r_n = n² a₀, L = n h/2π, R = R₀ A^¹/³, BE = Δm c² and 1 u = 931.5 MeV, evaluation
