Abstract. All ℓ-s and j-j bonds in a strong magnetic field B are broken in all atomic electrons and their orbital moments are "frozen-in" in the field. Electronic states with identical orbital ℓ and magnetic moments mℓ are split into two levels with antiparallel electron spins s = ± 1/2. The frequency of transitions between these levels ms = ± 1/2 is the same for all electron pairs ω = 2μeB/ћ. Electromagnetic interaction of electrons causes them to oscillate near their orbitals. These oscillations are quantized by introducing a new quantum number. The exchange interaction between two electrons, an additional asymmetry in their oscillations enable the electrons to create an ortho-boson with S = 1. The orbital magnetic moment mℓ of each electron precesses around the magnetic field B with a frequency ω= ℓ·μeB/ћ and creates its own internal magnetic field Bμ rotating with the same frequency. The internal magnetic field Bμ stimulates transitions between the levels ms = 1/2 → ms = –1/2. Thus, ortho-bosons are formed in the entire atom and electron Bose–Einstein condensate is produced. Consequently, atoms, in a strong magnetic field, inevitably turn into transatoms.
