Assume that there is no repulsive force between the electrons in an atom but the force between positive and negative charges is given by Coulomb’s law as usual. Under such circumstances, calculate the ground state energy of a He-atom.
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.
