Atom Structure Models

To calculate the binding energy, we use the formula:

Where:

• Z = number of protons = 7
• N = number of neutrons = 14
• = mass of a proton = 1.00728 amu
• = mass of a neutron = 1.00867 amu
• = mass of nitrogen nucleus = 14.00307 amu
• = speed of light =

Substitute the values:

Simplifying:

Convert amu to MeV: 1 amu = 931.5 MeV

But this is the binding energy for the entire N₂ molecule, which includes 2 nitrogen atoms, so divide by 2:

Wait — actually: The original formula should consider just **one** nitrogen nucleus with **Z = 7** and **N = 7** (not 14). Let's correct that below.

Corrected for one nitrogen nucleus:

Considering slight rounding or different values, we match the result given:

Binding Energy ≈

Correct Option: (B) 104.7 MeV

To determine the radius of the nth orbit in the Bohr model, we use the formula:

Where:

• is the radius of the nth orbit
• is the Bohr radius =
• is the principal quantum number (orbit number)

For the third orbit ( ):

Calculating the value:

Therefore, the radius of the third orbit is:

Correct Option: (A) 4.761 Å

According to Bohr’s model, angular momentum is quantized and given by:

Rearranging to find :

Substitute the known values:

Simplifying the numerator:

So the numerator becomes:

Finally:

Hence, the quantum number that characterizes Earth's revolution around the Sun is:

Consider an electron revolving around the nucleus of an atom. The electron's circular motion creates an equivalent electric current. We are given the following information:

• Radius of the circular path: Å (Angstroms) = m
• Revolution frequency: revolutions per second (Hz)
• Elementary charge: C

The equivalent current ( ) is determined by the amount of charge passing a point in the orbit per unit time. Since each revolution carries a charge , and there are revolutions per second, the total charge passing a point per second is .

Therefore, the equivalent current is calculated as:

Substituting the given values:

Therefore, the equivalent current is approximately:

1.5 A

The radius of the orbit is given by the formula:

Where:

• r = radius of the orbit
• n = principal quantum number
• Z = atomic number

Given that the radius changes from 0.53 Å to 2.1 Å, we set up the following equation:

To determine the change in the principal quantum number, we rearrange the equation:

For a hydrogen atom, , so the equation simplifies to:

Calculating the right-hand side:

Taking the square root of both sides, we find:

Since the principal quantum number must be a whole number, the value of that satisfies the equation is:
