Hello
I found the radius of the electron's orbit
but I couldn't get the correct energy at ground state using the electric potential energy formulas
the radius I found matches the accepted value of Bohr's hydrogen atom radius

Edit:

I found the energy, my calculator wasn't calculating the small numbers correctly, so I kept on getting zero.

the energy at ground state is 4.36*10^-18 J
I can't reupload a new picture of the solution. so if it's possible, you might want to repost your question and message me to answer it again.

btw the potential energy is:

((e^4)*m)/(4(Elipson0)*h^2)= 4.36*10^-18 J

Use the formula in ev (13.6eV*Z^2)(n^2)

hydrogen Z = 1
ground state, so n=1

Ans: 13.6 ev

It is possible to make a model of a fission chain reaction with mousetraps and table tennis balls, with the balls placed on an a

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The table tennis balls represent neutrons that are released when the nucleus splits and cause other nuclei to split

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is defined as the separation of a nucleus into two smaller nuclei.

It takes a neutron to set off a nuclear fission reaction. When that occurs, neutrons are released and those neutrons in turn are what set off other nuclear fissions. This is defined as a Nuclear Fission Chain Reaction. In the model, the one tennis ball that will be thrown will be modeled as the starting neutron that sets of the initial (first) fission. The mouse traps with tennis balls represent the other nucleuses waiting to be struck by the one tennis ball. Once the initial tennis ball strikes the first mouse trap, that mouse trap will release its tennis ball hitting others and continuing the cycle.

It can also be modeled as such:
