Semiclassical model for atoms

RESUMO
The energies of several two- and three-electron atoms, in both ground states and excited states, are calculated by a very simple semiclassical model. The only change from Bohr's original method is to replace definite orbits by probability distribution functions based on classical dynamics. The energies are better than Hartree-Fock values. There is still a need for an exchange-energy correction.
