In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron orbits a proton (the nucleus) in a circular orbit of radius 0.53 X 10-10m.
(a) What is the electric potential at the electron’s orbit due to the proton?
(b) What is the kinetic energy of the electron?
(c) What is the total energy of the electron in its orbit?
(d) What is the ionization energy-that is, the energy required to remove the electron from the atom and take it to r = ∞, at rest? Express the results of parts b, c and d in joules and eV.
