Atoms · Bohr model
The energy of an electron in an orbit of the Bohr's atom is where is the ground state energy. If L is the angular momentum of the electron in this orbit and h is the Planck's constant, then is :
- (1)2
- (2)4
- (3)5
- (4)6
We corrected a printing error in the original paper
Source printed “ eV” (positive, i.e. unbound, since is negative; and a doubled unit).
