      The key aim of the present work is to study the relativistic Brown-Ravenhall operator that describes the electronic states of heavy atoms, to compare its ground-state energy with that of the Schrödinger operator, to compare the hydrogenic Brown-Ravenhall and Chandrasekhar operators, and to prove that the subleading quasi-classical term, following the leading Thomas-Fermi term is the Scott correction.
