Bohrgeschwindigkeit
Bohrgeschwindigkeit, in the German literature on atomic theory, refers to the speed of the electron in Bohr's early model of the atom. In this model the electron moves in circular orbits around the nucleus with a speed that depends on the orbital quantum number n and the nuclear charge Z.
The velocity in the Bohr model is commonly written as v_n = Z α c / n, where α is
In Bohr's theory, the orbit radius scales as r_n = n^2 a0 / Z, with a0 ≈ 0.529 Å,
Limitations and context: Bohrgeschwindigkeit is a characteristic of Bohr’s semiclassical model and is not a fundamental
