Question

What is the angular momentum of the eleectron in the third bohr orbit in the hydrogen atom

Answer 1

the angular movement (mvr) of electron in the nth orbit is equal to nh/2 Pi for the electron in 3rd Orbit angular momentum is equal to mvr is equal to 3 /2 pi is equal to 1.5 h/ pi

Answer 2

Angular momentum of electron in third orbit of hydrogen atom is 3h/2pie which is equal to 1.5h/pie.

The angular momentum= mvr

Angular momentum of electron in nth orbit = nh/2pie

So we have mvr=nh/2pie

Angular momentum was proposed by Neil Bohr. It gives the angular momentum of electron revolving in a circular orbit.

We know according to question n=3

Substituting values we have:-

angular momentum=3h/2pie

So 3/2=1.5

Hence angular momentum of electron in third orbit the hydrogen is 1.5h/pie.
