A hydrogen atom can be considered as having a central pointlike proton of positive charge e and an electron of negative charge -e that is distributed about the proton according to the volume charge density r = A exp(-2r/a0). Here A is a constant, a0 = 0.53 *10-10 m, and r is the distance from the center of the atom. (a) Using the fact that the hydrogen is electrically neutral, find A. Then find the (b) magnitude and (c) direction of the atom’s electric field at a0.
A hydrogen atom consist of a positively charged nucleus (+e)) and a negatively charged electron (-e). In quantum physics the electron is described as a "cloud" surrounding the nucleus. In the ground state, the electron cloud is defined as a continuous charge density. -2r p(r) паз Where a is the Bohr radius, q is the charge of the electron and r is the sph origin, is set on the nucleus. erical coordinate defined as the What is the total charge (electric monopole) defined by the function p(r). Note: in your calculation r should go from the origin to infinity. (i) (ii) Given that the atom is neutral, does the answer in (i) make sense? Why? (iii) What is the electric dipole defined by the function p(r).
The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is a single proton, which has a radius of about 1.1 × 10-15 m. The single electron in a hydrogen atom orbits the nucleus at a distance of 5.3 x 10-¹1 m. What is the ratio of the density of the hydrogen nucleus to the density of the complete hydrogen atom? Number i 1.12E+13 Units (no units)
