Bohr radius


in: the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom

is: the radius of the smallest Bohr orbit for the electron.   [P8.2, P11.3]

is given: by where is the permittivity of free space, is the mass of the electron, the charge on the proton, and is Planck's constant.   [P8.2]

therefore is: quantized by Bohr's quantum number    [P8.2]
