Q17 of 29 Page 78

Would the Bohr formula for the H-atom remain unchanged if proton had a charge (+4/3) e and electron a charge (−3/4) e, where e = 1.6 × 10–19C. Give reasons for your answer.

Yes, the Bohr formula for the H-atom remain unchanged if proton had a charge (+4/3)e and electron a charge (−3/4)e, since it depends on the product of charges and in this case ,which is same as the Bohr formula for H-atom.

Imagine removing one electron from He4 and He3. Their energy levels, as worked out on the basis of Bohr model will be very close. Explain why.

 16

When an electron falls from a higher energy to a lower energy level, the difference in the energies appears in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Why cannot it be emitted as other forms of energy?

 18

Consider two different hydrogen atoms. The electron in each atom is in an excited state. Is it possible for the electrons to have different energies but the same orbital angular momentum according to the Bohr model?

Positronium is just like a H-atom with the proton replaced by the positively charged anti-particle of the electron (called the positron which is as massive as the electron). What would be the ground state energy of positronium?
