उत्तर

Nucleus: Through research on the scattering of α-particles by atoms, Lord Rutherford and his colleagues made the initial discovery of it in 1911. He discovered that the scattering finding could be explained if atoms were made up of an electron-orbiting small central massive and positive core. The findings of the experiment showed that the nucleus is 10,000 times smaller than an atom and has a size on the order of 10-14 metres. The number of protons and neutrons is given if the nucleus contains N neutrons.

A = Z + N

A → Mass Number

N →Neutrons

Z →Protons

Actually, the mass number is the integer closest to the nuclear mass.

Would the Bohr formula for the H-atom remain unchanged if proton had a charge (+4/3)e and electron a charge (−3/4)e, where e = 1.6 × 10–19C. Give reasons for your answer.


The Bohr model for the H-atom relies on the Coulomb’s law of electrostatics. Coulomb’s law has not directly been verified for very short distances of the order of angstroms. Supposing Coulomb’s law between two opposite charge + q1, –q2 is modified to |F| = `(q_1q_2)/((4πε_0)) 1/r^2, r ≥ R_0 = (q_1q_2)/(4πε_0) 1/R_0^2 (R_0/r)^ε, r ≤ R_0` Calculate in such a case, the ground state energy of a H-atom, if ε = 0.1, R0 = 1Å.
