Question

In Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom, electrons orbiting the proton with a high orbital radius have:

A) more kinetic energy, less potential energy, and more mechanical energy than those with a low orbital radius.
B) less kinetic energy, more potential energy, and the same mechanical energy than those with a low orbital radius.
C) less kinetic energy, more potential energy, and more mechanical energy than those with a low orbital radius.
D) less kinetic energy, less potential energy, and less mechanical energy than those with a low orbital radius.

Explanation / Answer

It's more kinetic energy, less potential energy, and more mechanical energy than those with a low orbital radius. A answer
