Question

If the electrons are attracted more by the nucleus because of an additional proton, what would happen to it?

Answer 1

orbital speed of the electrons in their orbit will increase

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that centripetal force for electrons will be due to electrostatic attraction force of electron.

So it is given as

`F_e = F_c`

so we have

`((Ze)(e))/(4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2) = (mv^2)/(r)`

now on the left side if the force of attraction will increase and hence there must be the change in that part of equation

So here at the same position the speed of the electron

So we can say that correct answer will be

orbital speed of the electrons in their orbit will increase
