Question:medium

What is the Bohr radius of a hydrogen atom?

Show Hint

The Bohr radius is a fundamental constant and represents the distance between the electron and the nucleus in the hydrogen atom’s ground state.
Show Solution

Solution and Explanation

The Bohr radius is a fixed physical constant, roughly \( 0.53 \, \text{Å} \) (about \( 5.3 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m} \)), representing the radius of the smallest allowed electron orbit in a hydrogen atom, i.e. the ground state (\( n = 1 \)) orbit in Bohr's model.
