Question: In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the speed of the electron is approximately 1.96 × 106 m/s. Find the central force acting on the electron as it revolves in a circular orbit of radius 4.86 × 10−11 m.
The centripetal force acting on the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state can be calculated using the formula: F = m*v^2/r where, - m is the mass of the electron (approximately 9.11 × 10^-31 kg) - v is the speed of the electron (given as 1.96 × 10^6 m/s) - r is the radius of the electron's orbit (given as 4.86 × 10^-11 m) Plugging in these values: F = (9.11 × 10^-31 kg)*(1.96 × 10^6 m/s)^2 / 4.86 × 10^-11 m The force acting on the electron in the hydrogen atom is approximately 8.23 x 10^-8 N (Newtons).
