Examples of hydrogenic atoms are hydrogen itself, He*, Li²+, Be³+, and B4+. In a hydrogenic atom the single electron is expected to act pretty much like a hydrogen electron, the only difference being the number of electrons in the nucleus (which is equal to Z). According to Bohr model, for a hydrogenic atom of atomic number Z, the orbital radius (rn) of the electron in the nth orbit is given by where ao= 0.5Å is the Bohr radius and Å= 1.0x 10-10 m (known as the Angstrom) is the unit distance often used in atomic and molecular physics. For Li²+, and when the electron is in the 4th orbit (that is, for n= 4), find (a) the coulomb force on the electron. +Ze M -e m an² Z 3arrow_forward
