At a glance:r_n = a₀·n²/Z; E_n = −13.6·Z²/n² eV (a₀ = Bohr radius). Complements rydberg-formula and hydrogen-energy-levels.

Formula

r_n = a₀·n²/Z.

E_n = −13.6·Z²/n² eV.

$$r_n = \frac{n^2 a_0}{Z}, \quad E_n = -\frac{13.6\, Z^2}{n^2}\,\text{eV}, \quad v_n = \frac{\alpha c Z}{n}, \quad a_0 = 5.29\times10^{-11}\,\text{m}$$

How to Use

  1. Enter Z and n.
  2. The tool returns radius, energy and velocity.

Case Studies

H: Z=1, n=1

r=a₀, E=−13.6 eV.

FAQ

Hydrogen only?

Hydrogen-like ions (one electron); Z scales the result.
