This is the formula that I'm using:
$$r_n=\frac{h^2}{4\pi^2me^2}\times\frac{n^2}{Z}$$
Here,
$r_n$ = radius of nth orbit
$h$ = Planck's constant $(6.626\times10^{-34}Js)$
$m$ = mass of an electron $(9.1\times10^{-31}kg)$
$e$ = charge of a proton $(1.6\times10^{-19}C)$
$n$ = principal quantum number ($n=1$ in our case)
$Z$ = atomic number
My attempt:
$$r_1=\frac{(6.626\times10^{-34})^2}{4\pi^2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^2}\times\frac{1}{1}$$
$$=0.477m\ (\text{approx})$$
But this is the wrong answer! The correct Bohr radius is $0.0529\times10^{-9}m$
Question:
- Why am I getting the wrong answer? What mistake am I making?
