The total probability of finding an electron in the hydrogen atom is related to the integral
∫ r2 e-2r/ao dr
Where r is the distance of the electron from the nucleus and ao is the Bohr radius. Evaluate thisintegral.
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?
Look up the values of the quantities in aB = h2 / 4π2 me kqe2 ,and verify that the Bohr radius aB is 0.529 x 10-10 m .
