In the planetary model of the hydrogen atom, it is assumed that the electron moves around the proton
In the planetary model of the hydrogen atom, it is assumed that the electron moves around the proton with an angular velocity of 10 ^ 16 rad / s. Find the radius of the orbit.
To calculate the radius of the orbit of the electron under consideration, we use the equality: me * ac = F = k * qe * qp / r ^ 2; me * ω ^ 2 * r = F = k * qe ^ 2 / r ^ 2, whence we express: r = (k * qe ^ 2 / (me * ω ^ 2)).
Data: k – coefficient of proportionality (k = 9 * 10 ^ 9 m / F); qe – electron charge (qe = -1.6 * 10 ^ -19 C); me is the mass of an electron (me = 9.11 * 10 ^ -31 kg); ω is the angular velocity of the electron under consideration (ω = 10 ^ 16 rad / s).
Calculation: r = (k * qe2 / (me * ω2)) ^ 1/3 = (9 * 10 ^ 9 * (1.6 * 10 ^ -19) ^ 2 / ((9.11 * 10 ^ -31 ) * (1016) ^ 2)) ^ 1/3 = 1.36 * 10 ^ -10 m.
Answer: The radius of the orbit of the electron in question is 1.36 * 10 ^ -10 m.
