Electron orbits beyond Bohr radius
Keywords:
Eccentricity, orbits, central force, Bohr radius, binding energyAbstract
Starting from the classical energy equation of planetary motion and reviewing the refinement picture of Bohr model of hydrogen atom, the orbits of electron around hydrogen nucleus have been determined. The values of eccentricity of electron orbits fall within the range from 0 to 1, indicating that the path of an electron changes from circular to elliptical orbits, hence it continues toward parabolic orbits.
