The expression for the radius of the nth orbit of a hydrogen atom was derived by:
Correct answer: B. Bohr
- A. Planks
- B. Bohr
- C. Rutherford
- D. Einstein
Explanation
The expression for the radius of the nth orbit of a hydrogen atom was derived by Bohr. According to Bohr's theory of the hydrogen atom, Bohr was able to derive the formula for the hydrogen spectrum using basic physics.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
