It is not possible to establish the ground state energy of a hydrogen atom without quantum mechanics. However, for the atom's stability only, this can be explained even without using quantum mechanics. Even according to classical considerations, our discussion reveals that there exists an off-limit boundary r within the electron inside a hydrogen atom.
