Bohr radius

The Bohr radius is the most probable distance of the electron from the nucleus in a ground-state hydrogen atom. It sets the natural length scale of atoms — all atomic sizes are roughly a few Bohr radii.

Used in

  • Atomic size estimates (~0.5 Å per Bohr radius)
  • Bohr model energy levels E_n = −13.6 eV/n²
