An electron has a mass of 9.11x10-31 kg. In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the electron was viewed as orbiting the lone proton of the nucleus; the centripetal force requirement was met by the electrical attraction between the oppositely charged proton and electron. The radius of orbit was 5.29x10-11 m. Use circular motion and electrostatic principles to determine the speed at which the electron moves as it orbits the proton.

An electron has a mass of 9.11x10-31 kg. In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the electron is viewed as orbiting the single proton in the nucleus; the centripetal force is provided by the electrical attraction between the oppositely charged proton and electron. The radius of orbit is 5.29x10-11 m. What is the speed at which the electron moves as it orbits the proton. (Hint: Centripetal acceleration is v2/r.) A) 2.28*106 m/s B) 5.33*104 m/s C) None of these.
In the Bohr model of hydrogen the electron resolves in a circular orbit around the nucleus. If the radius is 5.3 × 10–11m and the electron circles the nucleus 6.6 x 1015 times per second find the centripetal acceleration of the electron.

A hydrogen atom when in its lowest energy state consists of a proton nucleus of charge +e (remember that +e = 1.6 x 10-19 C) and an electron of charge -e and mass of 9.1 x 10-31 kg. In the Bohr model of the atom, the electron moves around the nucleus in an approximately circular orbit with a radius of 0.52 x 10-10 m. The speed of the electron when in this lowest energy orbit is approximately 2.3 x 106 m/s. Imagine that we want to ionize this atom (that is free up the electron from its nucleus) by launching ANOTHER electron at the atom to break it apart. If we were to launch this electron from very far away from the atom, then how fast must it be launched in order to break apart the atom, so that all three particles (the proton and two electrons) end up at rest, very far apart?
In the Rutherford model of the hydrogen atom, a proton (mass M, charge Q) is the nucleus and an electron (mass m, charge q) moves around the proton in a circle of radius r. Let k denote the Coulomb force constant (1/4TTE0) and G the universal gravitational constant. The ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force between electron and proton is: O kMm/GQq O kQq/GMm O GQq/kMm O GMm/kQq O kQq/GMmr²
