Also, the standard geometrical interpretation of spherical harmonics in quantum mechanics provides a ready understanding of electron degeneracy levels (levels in which several electrons have nearly the same energy and occupy the same shell). This is because for shells such as p and d, the different subshells are each orthogonal to one another. In the model of infinitesimally thin orbitspheres with a charge distribution described by spherical harmonics, how does Mills account for electron degeneracy levels? Are they explained by having several orbitspheres coexisting simultaneously at the same radius? If the radius of each orbitsphere is distinct, how are degeneracy levels explained? Eric
