The new theoretical approach is proposed for studying the coupled states responsible for superconductivity in crystal without using the idea of electron pairing. From the approach it follows that BCS electron-pairing postulates are only approximate. It is shown that superconductivity (SC) coupled states can be created by pairs of electrons with nonzero full momentum and spin (k{sub 1} + k{sub 2} {ne} 0, s + s{prime} {ne} 0). The model numerical calculations have shown that dependence of SC gap (energy of coupled states) on temperature is nonexponential and depends on the momenta of electrons in pair.
