Please provide the formulae and complete derivation of energy of electron in nth orbit (En)
Asked by Annaya Shårmå | 26th Sep, 2013, 08:02: PM
The energy of electron revolving in a stationary orbit is of two types:
Kinetic energy which is due to velocity and potential energy which is due to position of electron.
From the first postulate of Bohrs atom model:
Where m is mass of electron, v is linear velocity, r is radius of orbit in which e revolves around the nucleus.
Necessary centripetal force for revolution of electron is provided by the electrostatic force of attraction between electron and nucleus whose charge is Ze where Z is the atomic number of the atom.
So,
