This work presents a further development of causal interpretation of quantum mechanics. Existence of ‘non-local hidden variables’ like a physical field is taken as an assumption. Under this assumption, on the basis of the causal approach it is proven that Schrödinger equation is a necessary condition for stability of the motion of a particle. For the case of a hydrogen atom this approach gives a mathematical base with which to suggest that (1) the electron’s spin in an atom is precessing; (2) the energy of the precessional motion on Bohr orbits satisfies the Rydberg formula, and (3) structures are formed in the physical vacuum which stabilize the motion of an electron on Bohr orbits.
