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.
