Determine the distance between the electron and proton in an atom if the potential energy ?U of the electron is 12.6 eV (electronvolt, 1 eV =1.6×10−19=1.6×10−19 J). Give your answer in Angstrom (1 A = 10-10 m).
7. An alpha particle (two protons, two neutrons) moves into a stationary gold atom (79 protons, 118
neutrons), passing through the electron region that surrounds the gold nucleus like a shell and headed
directly toward the nucleus (Fig. below). The alpha particle slows until it momentarily stops when its
center is at radial distance r =9.23 fm from the nuclear center. Then it moves back along its incoming path.
What was the kinetic energy Ki of the alpha particle when it was initially far away? Assume that the only
force acting between the alpha particle and the gold nucleus is the (electrostatic) Coulomb force and treat
each as a single charged particle.
