From Bohr’s first postulate, the centripetal force is equal to the electrostatic force so we get,
From Bohr’s second postulate, angular momentum is an
integral multiple of
Solving for and
, we have:
Radius,
Velocity,
Here for Carbon atom the electrons exist in two
different orbits so we can calculate the velocity of electrons in
each orbit by substituting
For all electrons in First orbit, , we have
For all electrons in Second orbit, , we have
determine the speed of the electron in its orbit around the carbon atom
An interesting (but oversimplified) model of an atom pictures an electron "in orbit" around a proton. Suppose this electron is moving in a circular orbit of radius 0.13 nm (1.3 Times 10^-10 m) and the force that makes this circular motion possible is the electric force exerted by the proton on the electron. Find the speed of the electron.

In the bohr model of the hydrogen atom the electron is in a circular orbit of r = 5.29 x 10^-11m around the nuclear proton. The mass of the electron is 9.11 x 10^ -31 kg. Find the speed of the electron. Hint: use Coulomb’s law and the concept of the force for an object going in a circular motion.
Determine the circumference of the second Bohr orbit of the Hydrogen atom. Use this to determine the wavelength of the electron in this orbit; the electron's wave must consist of an integral number of wavelengths about its orbit's circumference (Why?). orbit circumference = n wavelength Finally, determine the velocity v of the electron in this orbit using de Broglie's prescription for the wavelength of matter waves. wavelength = h / mv What percentage of the speed of light is this...
In the Bohr model, the hydrogen atom consists of an electron in a circular orbit of radius a0 = 5.29 x 10-11 m around the nucleus. Using this model, and ignoring relativistic effects, what is the speed of the electron? The mass of the electron is 9.11 X 10-31 kg.
In the Bohr model of the Hydrogen atom, a single electron orbits around a single proton (which constitutes the nucleus). The mass of the electron (9.11x10-31 kg) is much less than the proton (1.67x10-27 kg), so the proton remains stationary while the electron moves around it. If the electron is 6.6x10-11 m away from the proton, calculate the magnitude of the electric force (in N) exerted by the proton on the electron. b) [Continued ...] In the Bohr model, an...
