Verified by Experts

In a hydrogen atom the charge of an electron `q_(e)=-1.6xx10^(-19)C`

In a hydrogen atom the charge of proton, `q_(p)=+1.6xx10^(-19)C`
The distance between the proton and an electron
`2a=0.5Å=0.5xx10^(-10)m`.
The dipolemoment of the system.
`P=2Axxq_(p)=0.5xx10^(-10)xx1.6xx10^(-19)`
`therefore P=8xx10^(-30)`cm.

In a hydrogen atom, the electron is at a distance of 4.76Å from the nucleus. The angular momentum of the electron is

The gravitational attraction between electron and proton in a hydrogen atom is weaker than the coulomb attraction by a factor of about 10^(-40) . An alternative way of looking at this fact is to estimate the radius of the first Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom if the electron and proton were bound by gravitational attraction. You will find the answer interesting.
