An election in a hydrogen atom revolves around its nucleus with a speed of 6.76 × 10 6   ms 1 in an orbit of radius 0.52   A . The magnetic field produced at the nucleus of the hydrogen atom is _________ T.

The Crrect Answer is

The formula for the magnetic field due to a moving charge is given by:

B = μ 0 4 π q v sin θ r 2

where μ 0 is the permeability of free space, q is the charge of the moving particle, v is the speed of the particle, θ is the angle between the velocity vector and the position vector from the particle to the point where we want to calculate the magnetic field, and r is the distance between the particle and the point where we want to calculate the magnetic field.

In this case, we're interested in the magnetic field produced by the electron moving in a circular orbit around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom. Since the orbit is circular, the angle between the velocity vector and the position vector is 90 degrees, so sin θ = 1 . We can substitute the known values into the formula to find the magnetic field:

B = μ 0 4 π q v sin θ r 2 = μ 0 4 π e v r 2

where e is the charge of an electron. We know that the radius of the orbit is 0.52   A , which is equivalent to 0.52 × 10 10 m .

Substituting the values, we get:

B = μ 0 4 π e v r 2 = 10 7 × 1.6 × 10 19 × 6.76 × 10 6 0.52 × 0.52 × 10 20 = 40   T

This means that the magnetic field produced by the electron moving in a circular orbit around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom is 40 tesla, which is an incredibly strong magnetic field.

The radius of 2 nd  orbit of He + of Bohr's model is r 1 and that of fourth orbit of Be 3 + is represented as r 2 . Now the ratio r 2 r 1 is x : 1 . The value of x is ___________.

The Crrect Answer is

To find the value of x , we need to first determine the expressions for the radii of the specified orbits for He + and Be 3 + according to Bohr's model. The radius of an orbit in a hydrogen-like atom (an atom with only one electron) is given by:

r n = n 2 h 2 ϵ 0 π Z e 2 m e

Where:

  • r n is the radius of the nth orbit
  • n is the principal quantum number (orbit number)
  • h is the Planck's constant
  • ϵ 0 is the vacuum permittivity
  • Z is the atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus)
  • e is the elementary charge
  • m e is the mass of the electron
  • π is the mathematical constant pi

In this problem, we are looking at the 2nd orbit of He + (which has an atomic number Z = 2 ) and the 4th orbit of Be 3 + (which has an atomic number Z = 4 ). Let's calculate the radii for these orbits:

For the 2nd orbit of He + ( n 1 = 2 and Z 1 = 2 ):

r 1 = n 1 2 h 2 ϵ 0 π Z 1 e 2 m e

For the 4th orbit of Be 3 + ( n 2 = 4 and Z 2 = 4 ):

r 2 = n 2 2 h 2 ϵ 0 π Z 2 e 2 m e

We are asked to find the ratio r 2 r 1 , which is equal to x : 1 :

r 2 r 1 = n 2 2 h 2 ϵ 0 π Z 2 e 2 m e n 1 2 h 2 ϵ 0 π Z 1 e 2 m e

By simplifying the expression, we get:

r 2 r 1 = n 2 2 Z 1 n 1 2 Z 2 = 4 2 2 2 2 4

Now we can calculate the value of x :

x = r 2 r 1 = 16 2 4 4 = 32 16 = 2

Therefore, the value of x in the ratio r 2 r 1 = x : 1 is 2 .

Experimentally it is found that 12.8   eV energy is required to separate a hydrogen atom into a proton and an electron. So the orbital radius of the electron in a hydrogen atom is 9 x × 10 10   m . The value of the x is __________.

( 1 eV = 1.6 × 10 19   J , 1 4 π ϵ 0 = 9 × 10 9 Nm 2 / C 2 and electronic charge = 1.6 × 10 19 C )

The Crrect Answer is

The binding energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom is given by the formula:

E = k e 2 2 r

where:

  • E is the energy of the electron,
  • k is Coulomb's constant (Nm 9 × 10 9 Nm 2 / C 2 ),
  • e is the charge of the electron ( 1.6 × 10 19 C ), and
  • math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> r is the radius of the orbit.

In this scenario, the energy E required to separate a hydrogen atom into a proton and an electron is given as 12.8 eV , which needs to be converted into joules using the conversion factor 1 eV = 1.6 × 10 19 J . So,

12.8 eV = 12.8 × 1.6 × 10 19 J

We can then substitute the given values into the energy equation and solve for r :

12.8 × 1.6 × 10 19 J = 9 × 10 9 × ( 1.6 × 10 19 ) 2 2 r

Solving for r , we get:

r = 9 × 10 9 × ( 1.6 × 10 19 ) 2 2 × 12.8 × 1.6 × 10 19

This simplifies to:

r = 9 × 10 10 16

Comparing this with the given form of the radius, which is 9 x × 10 10 , we find that the value of x is 16.

The radius of fifth orbit of the Li + + is __________ × 10 12   m .

Take: radius of hydrogen atom = 0.51 A o

The formula to calculate the radius of an orbit for a hydrogen-like atom/ion is:

r n = r 0 n 2 Z

where:

  • r n is the radius of the nth orbit,
  • n is the principal quantum number (the orbit number),
  • r 0 is the Bohr radius (radius of the first Bohr orbit in the hydrogen atom), and
  • Z is the atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus).

We're dealing with a Li²⁺ ion and we're interested in the fifth orbit ( n = 5 ), and given that r 0 is 0.51 Å and Z for Li is 3, we can substitute these values into the formula:

r 5 = 0.51 × 25 3  Å = 4.25  Å

which is 4.25 × 10 10 m, or equivalently 425 × 10 12 m when converted to meters.

The Crrect Answer is

E H = 13.6

E Li 2 + = 13.6 Z 2 n 2 = 13.6 × 9 9 = 13.6 eV = 136 × 10 1 eV
