As per Bohr model of a hydrogen atom for a stable orbit centripetal, Coulomb, and all forces should be in equilibrium. Therefore, for an electron with mass me and speed v₁ on the nth orbit with radius rn, (k being Coulomb/s constant) mevn = ke²/rn mevn² = ke²/rn mevn²/rn = ke²/rn 2.2 Ome²v² = ke²/r²
The velocity of electron in the first Bohr orbit of radius 0.5 A.U. is 2.24 x 106 m/s. Calculate the period of revolution of the electron in the same orbit.
Determine the distance between the electron and proton in an atom if the potential energy UU of the electron is 11 eV (electronvolt, 1 eV =1.6×10−19=1.6×10−19 J). Give your answer in Angstrom (1 A = 10-10 m).
