Abstract
The motion of a multi-electronic atom in an external electro-magnetic field is reconsidered. We prove that according to classical mechanics and electrodynamics, the assumption that the interaction with the magnetic field is described by means of a potential energy is no valid, and the trajectory of the center of mass can be deflected by a magnetic field, even if the internal angular momentum is zero. The characteristic equation of the corresponding hamiltonian is not separable in three degrees of freedom for the hydrogen atom.
