Deriving the Virial Theorem and Bohr's Atomic Model with de Broglie Formula - Prof. Willia, Study notes of Physical Chemistry

Download Deriving the Virial Theorem and Bohr's Atomic Model with de Broglie Formula - Prof. Willia and more Study notes Physical Chemistry in PDF only on Docsity! With the de Broglie formula we are ready to carry out Bohr’s quantization of the H atom and give the “first correct explanation of the spectrum of an atom or molecule…..” by combining Bohr’s stationary orbits, with Einstein’s photons… F = ma (balance of force and acceleration) gives: F= -Ze2/(4πεor2) = -mv2/r = ma Or Ze2/(4πεor) = mv2 Thus: (1/2)mv2 = Ze2/(8πεor) A result known as the “virial theorem.”
