Chemistry · Bohr model of a hydrogen atom: its postulates, derivation of the relations for the energy of the electron and radii of the different orbits, limitations of Bohr's model
The force which is responsible for circular motion of electrons around the nucle
The force which is responsible for circular motion of electrons around the nucleus is
- A. Van der Waals
- B. Electrostatic forces
- C. centrifugal and Centripetal
- D. Intermolecular forces
Step-by-step solution
In the Bohr model of the atom, electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular orbits. The necessary centripetal force for this circular motion is provided by the electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electron.
