Question

The attractive potential for an atom is given by

Answer 1

The attractive potential for an atom is given by V=Vo ln(R/Ro)

Explanation:

In the above equation, Vo and Ro are constant

R is the radius of the circle

The radius "r" varies with n2

Vn =  e / √4 π ϵo mrn

vn = 1 x e ^2 x 1/ n x 4 π ϵo x (h/ 2π)

rn = (n2/m ) (h/ 2π) x 4 π ϵo/ e^2

Answer 2

The attractive potential of an atom is given by v0 ( r/r0).

• When electrons are excited they travel further away from the atom to a higher energy orbital. The further the orbital comes from the nucleus, the higher an electron's potential energy at that energy level.
• In the given formula both Vo and Ro are constants and R is the radius of the orbit.
• In the formula, the radius R of the Nth Bohr's orbit is dependant on the principal quantum number n as rαn²
