A student decides to build a physical model of an atom. If the
nucleus is a rubber ball with a diameter of 8 cm, how far away
would the outer electrons be?
Homework Answers
As we know that radius of nucleus of any atom is of the order 10-15 and the outermost electrons are at a distance of order 10-10.
So, while making the model, one should keep the ratio same, this way the outer electron will be at 0.04 + 105 m which is about 100 km.

15. The planetary model of the atom pictures electrons orbiting the atomic nucleus much as planets orbit the Sun. In this model you can view hydrogen, the simplest atom, as having a single electron in a circular orbit 1.06xl diameter. (a) If the average speed of the electron in this orbit is known to be 2.20x10° m/s, calculate the number of revolutions per second it makes about the nucleus. (b) What is the electron's average velocity? 0-10 m in

A proton is fired from far away toward the nucleus of a mercury atom. Mercury is element number 80, and the diameter of the nucleus is 14.0 fm. If the proton is fired at a speed of 4.6×107 m/s , what is its closest approach to the surface of the nucleus? Assume the nucleus remains at rest.

In the Bohr model of the atom, electrons travel in circular orbits around a nucleus in much the same way that planets orbit the sun. Within this model, and electron in a hydrogen atom orbits the proton in a circle with radius 5.29×10−11m. What is the electric potential energy of the hydrogen atom?

In a simple model of the helium atom, two electrons orbit a nucleus consisting of two protons and two neutrons. Is the magnitude of the force exerted on the nucleus by one of the electrons greater than, less than, or equal to the force exerted on that electron by the nucleus? What is the Coulomb force between the neutron and the electron?

A proton is fired from far away toward the nucleus of a mercury atom. Mercury is element number 80, and the diameter of the nucleus is 14.0 fm. If the proton is fired at a speed of 3.2 times 10^7 m/s, what is its closest approach to the surface of the nucleus? Assume the nucleus remains at rest. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

A proton is fired from far away toward the nucleus of a mercury atom. Mercury is element number 80, and the diameter of the nucleus is 14.0 fm If the proton is fired at a speed of 3.2×107 m/s , what is its closest approach to the surface of the nucleus? Assume the nucleus remains at rest. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.(Hint: The charge of the Mercury nucleus is +80e)

a) Suppose 7.0 × 10-19 J of work is done to move the nucleus of an atom from some very far away position to a location near a fixed positive charge. What would the electric potential energy of the nucleus be? b) If the nucleus is now released, how much kinetic energy will it have when it returns to a very far away position?

Problem 8 In Rutherford's famous scattering experiments that led to the planetary model of the atom, alpha particles (having charges of +2e and masses of 6.64 X 10-27 kg) were fired toward a gold nucleus with charge +79e. An alpha particle, initially very far from the gold nucleus, is fired at 2.02 X 107 m/s directly toward the nucleus, as in the figure below. How close does the alpha particle get to the gold nucleus before turning around? Assume the...
