Abstract
As the nuclear charge Z is continuously decreased an N-electron atom undergoes a binding-unbinding transition at some critical Z_c. We investigate whether the electrons remain bound when Z=Z_c and whether the radius of the system stays finite as Z_c is approached. Existence of a ground state at Z_c is shown under the condition Z_c
