What is the order of the radius of an electron orbit in a hydrogen atom?(a) 10^-8 m(b) 10^-9 m(c) 10^-11 m(d) 10^-13 mThis question was addressed to me in an international level competition.Query is from Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom topic in section Atoms of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (c) 10^-11 m

To explain: The radius of an electron orbit in a hydrogen atom is of the order of 10^-11 m. It is equal to the most PROBABLE DISTANCE between the NUCLEUS and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground STATE.
