Abstract: We prove that the ground state energy of an atom confined to two dimensions with an infinitely heavy nucleus of charge $Z>0$ and $N$ quantum electrons of charge -1 is $E(N,Z)=-1/2Z^{2}lnZ+(E^{TF}(lambda)+1/2c^{mH})Z^2+o(Z^2)$ when $Zoinfty$ and $N/Zolambda$, where $E^{TF}(lambda)$ is given by a Thomas-Fermi type variational problem and $c^{mH}approx-2.2339$ is an explicit constant. We also show that the radius of a two-dimensional neutral atom is unbounded when $Zoinfty$, which is contrary to the expected behavior of three-dimensional atoms.
