Problem 51GP
In a simple model of the hydrogen atom, the electron revolves in a circular orbit around the proton with a speed of 2.2*106 m/s. Determine the radius of the electron’s orbit. [Hint: See Chapter 5 on circular motion.]
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
To calculate the radius of the hydrogen atom Bohr model is used. Radius of the hydrogen atom is calculated by the radial force. According to Bohr’s postulates an electron may jump from one energy level to another energy level inside the atom.
