Radius of orbit and velocity of electron is considered one the most difficult concept.
Bohr's Model of hydrogen atom is considered one of the most asked concept.
52 Questions around this concept.
If 13.6 eV energy is required to ionize the hydrogen atom, then the energy required (in eV) to remove an electron from n = 2 is
In which of the following systems will the radius of the first orbit be minimum?
Bohr's Model of hydrogen atom:
Bohr proposed a model for hydrogen atom which is also applicable for some lighter atoms in which a single electron revolves around a stationary nucleaus
of positive charge
Bohr's model is based on the following postulates-
(1). An atom consists of positively charged nucleaus responsible for almost the entrie mass of the assumption is retention
of Rutherford model.
(2). The electrons revive around the nucleaus in certain permitted circular of an infinite radii.
(3). The permitted orbits are those for which the angular momentum of an electron is an intergral muttiple of
(4). An electron can transition from a non-radiating orbit to another of a lower energy level. In doing so, a photon is emitted whose energy is equal to the energy difference between the two states. Hence, the frequency of the emitted photon is:
Ei is the energy of the initial state and Ef is the energy of the final state. Also,
Radius of orbit and velocity of electron
Radius of orbit : For an electron around a stationary nucleaus the electrostatics force of attraction provides the neccesary centripetal force.
