The radius of the third bohr orbit for H2 is?
The radius of the third bohr orbit for H2 is?
Solution and Explanation
According to the Bohr model, the radius of the nth orbit for a hydrogen atom can be calculated using the formula:
rn = \(\frac{0.529 \ n^2}{Z}\)
In this case, the third orbit corresponds to n = 3,
Z = 1 (for hydrogen).
Plugging in the values, we get:
r3 = \(\frac{0.529\ *\ 3^2}{1}\)
r3 = \(\frac{0.529\ * 9}{1}\)
r3 = 4.761 Å
Therefore, the radius of the third Bohr orbit for a hydrogen atom (and thus the H2 molecule) is approximately 4.761 Å.

Bohr's Model of Hydrogen Atom
Niels Bohr introduced the atomic Hydrogen model in 1913. He described it as a positively charged nucleus, comprised of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. In the model, electrons orbit the nucleus in atomic shells. The atom is held together by electrostatic forces between the positive nucleus and negative surroundings.

Bohr's Theory of Hydrogen Atom and Hydrogen-like Atoms
A hydrogen-like atom consists of a tiny positively-charged nucleus and an electron revolving around the nucleus in a stable circular orbit.
Bohr's Radius:
If 'e,' 'm,' and 'v' be the charge, mass, and velocity of the electron respectively, 'r' be the radius of the orbit, and Z be the atomic number, the equation for the radii of the permitted orbits is given by r = n2 ｘr1, where 'n' is the principal quantum number, and r1 is the least allowed radius for a hydrogen atom, known as Bohr's radius having a value of 0.53 Å.
Limitations of the Bohr Model
The Bohr Model was an important step in the development of atomic theory. However, it has several limitations.
- Bohr’s model of the atom failed to explain the Zeeman Effect (effect of magnetic field on the spectra of atoms).
- It failed to explain the Stark effect (effect of electric field on the spectra of atoms).
- The spectra obtained from larger atoms weren’t explained.
- It violates the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
