In Bohr's atomic model , the potential energy is negative and has a magnitude greater than the kinetic energy, what does this imply ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand the implications of the potential energy being negative and having a magnitude greater than the kinetic energy in Bohr's atomic model, we can break down the concepts step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Potential and Kinetic Energy**: - In Bohr's model, the potential energy (PE) of the electron in orbit around the nucleus is negative. This indicates that the electron is in a bound state, meaning it is held by the attractive force of the nucleus. 2. **Relationship Between Potential and Kinetic Energy**: ...
