Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to establish a systemic yoyo model‐based explanation for the internal structure of atoms, which is totally different of the conventional ones.

Design/methodology/approach

The spin fields of systemic yoyos are used to explain the interactions between electric and magnetic fields and between elementary particles.

Findings

The concepts of potential pits (traps) and ramparts for electrons and those of nuclear, atomic, and molecular bonds are introduced. These concepts are employed successfully to describe the topological structure of atoms.

Originality/value

Other than providing a brand new model for the internal structure of atoms, this paper establishes a deeper understanding of the general systemic yoyo mode.
