Bohr Radius
The Bohr radius is a fundamental physical constant that represents the average distance between the nucleus and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, according to the Bohr model of the atom.
Its value is approximately 5.29177 × 10⁻¹¹ meters (about 0.529 angstroms).
Named after physicist Niels Bohr, who introduced the model in 1913.
It sets a natural length scale in atomic physics and quantum mechanics.
Used to describe atomic sizes and electron orbitals.
Key facts:
Bohr radius ≈ 5.29 × 10⁻¹¹ m
Represents the typical size of a hydrogen atom’s electron orbit
Fundamental to quantum physics and atomic structure
The Bohr radius is essential for understanding atomic dimensions and quantum behavior of electrons.
Exameter
An exameter (Em) is a very large unit of length in the metric system. It equals one quintillion meters (1 exameter = 10¹⁸ meters). Exameters are used mainly in astronomy and physics to describe enormous distances, such as those between galaxies or across the universe. Because this unit is so huge, it’s not used for everyday measurements. The exameter helps scientists talk about the vast scale of space in a simpler way.
