A hydrogen atom is in its first excited state (n = 2). Using the Bohr theory of the atom, calculate (a) the radius of the orbit, (b) the linear momentum of the electron, (c) the angular momentum of the electron, (d) the kinetic energy, (e) the potential energy, and (f) the total energy.
For a hydrogen atom in its ground state, use the Bohr model to compute (a) the orbital speed of the electron, (b) the kinetic energy of the electron, and (c) the electrical potential energy of the atom.
What features of the Bohr model of hydrogen are consistent with the later, full quantum mechanical analysis? 1. When the atom drops from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, a photon is emitted with the energy corresponding to the difference in energy levels. 2. K+U is (-13.6/N2) eV. 3. The energy is quantized. 4.The electron moves in distinct circular orbits. 5. The angular momentum in the ground state is h/2. 6. The angular momentum is quantized. 7. Higher energy states correspond to a larger size of the atom. 8. A photon can be absorbed by the atom if the photon's energy corresponds to the energy necessary to jump to a higher energy level.
