The energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom is -4.45 x 10-20 J. What energy level (n) does it occupy? Is there another valid energy level at -2.69 x 10-20 J? If so, what is this other energy level?
Suppose an electron was bound to a proton, as in thehydrogen atom, but by the gravitational force rather thanby the electric force. What would be the radius, and energy,of the first Bohr orbit?
Show that the speed of the electron in the nth Bohr orbit in hydrogen is given by                                          υn = (kee2)/(nh)
