The electron in the hydrogen atom (in its ground state) orbits the nucleus at a distance of 0.5292 Å. (a) Calculate the gravitational force and (b) the electrostatic force of attraction between the two. (c) Comment on the magnitude and the importance of these two forces. [G, gravitational constant = 6.672 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2; 4πЄo = 1.113 x 10-10 C2 m-1 J-1]

Two electrons in the nucleus of a 238U atom are separated by a distance of 8 fm. What is the potential energy of the arrangement? A) 179.77 keVB) 2.25×10 43 eVC) 4.61×10 −33 keVD) 3.596 eV

How does the wave model of electrons orbiting the nucleus account for the fact that the electrons can have only discrete energy values? Question options: The wave model accounts for the types of orbitals an electron may occupy, not it's energy levels. Electrons are only able to vibrate at particular frequencies. The energy values of an electron only occur where its wave properties and probability clouds are mutually reinforcing. When an electron wave is confined as standing wave, it is reinforced only at particular frequencies.
