AI Generated Solution

To justify why the velocity of an electron decreases as we move further from the nucleus, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Angular Momentum According to Bohr's second postulate, the angular momentum of an electron in orbit around the nucleus is quantized. This means that the angular momentum can only take on certain fixed values. ### Step 2: Write the Formula for Angular Momentum The angular momentum (L) of an electron can be expressed mathematically as: \[ L = Mvr \] ...
