  2. Bohr radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_radius

    Nevertheless, the Bohr radius formula remains central in atomic physics calculations, due to its simple relationship with fundamental constants (this is why it is defined using the true electron mass rather than the reduced mass, as mentioned above). As such, it became the unit of length in atomic units. In Schrödinger's quantum-mechanical ...

  3. Bond length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_length

    Since one atomic unit of length (i.e., a Bohr radius) is 52.9177 pm, the C–C bond length is 2.91 atomic units, or approximately three Bohr radii long. Unusually long bond lengths do exist. Current record holder for the longest C-C bond with a length of 186.2 pm is 1,8-Bis(5-hydroxydibenzo[a,d]cycloheptatrien-5-yl)naphthalene, [2] one of many ...

  4. Atomic radii of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_radii_of_the...

    For more recent data on covalent radii see Covalent radius. Just as atomic units are given in terms of the atomic mass unit (approximately the proton mass), the physically appropriate unit of length here is the Bohr radius, which is the radius of a hydrogen atom. The Bohr radius is consequently known as the "atomic unit of length".

  5. Atomic radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_radius

    Covalent radius: the nominal radius of the atoms of an element when covalently bound to other atoms, as deduced from the separation between the atomic nuclei in molecules. In principle, the distance between two atoms that are bound to each other in a molecule (the length of that covalent bond) should equal the sum of their covalent radii. [13]

  6. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    Bohr radius (radius of a hydrogen atom) 10 −10: 100 pm: 100 pm 1 ångström (also covalent radius of sulfur atom [11]) 154 pm Length of a typical covalent bond (C–C) 280 pm Average size of the water molecule (actual lengths may vary) 500 pm Width of protein α helix: 10 −9: 1 nanometer 1 nm Diameter of a carbon nanotube [12]

  7. Atomic units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_units

    Atomic units are chosen to reflect the properties of electrons in atoms, which is particularly clear in the classical Bohr model of the hydrogen atom for the bound electron in its ground state: Mass = 1 a.u. of mass; Charge = −1 a.u. of charge; Orbital radius = 1 a.u. of length; Orbital velocity = 1 a.u. of velocity [44]: 597

  8. Covalent radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_radius

    The covalent radius, r cov, is a measure of the size of an atom that forms part of one covalent bond. It is usually measured either in picometres (pm) or angstroms (Å), with 1 Å = 100 pm. In principle, the sum of the two covalent radii should equal the covalent bond length between two atoms, R (AB) = r (A) + r (B).

  9. Dihydrogen cation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_cation

    Bonding in + can be described as a covalent one-electron bond, which has a formal bond order of one half. [3] The ground state energy of the ion is -0.597 Hartree. [4] The bond length in the ground state is 2.00 Bohr radius.
