	The ground state of the hydrogen atom
	Quantum mechanics is able to answer the existence of ground state. The wave-function aspect of quantum mechanics prevents the electron from collapsing into an infinitesimally small orbit with an infinite negative energy. In classical physics, an attractive ~1/r potential could have arbitrarily small orbitals with arbitrarily large binding energies. In quantum physics, the lowest energy orbital is called the ground state. Solving the Schrödinger equation for an electron in an attractive Coulomb potential provides the ground state properties of the hydrogen atom. In the ground state hydrogen atom have binding energy; And the average orbital radius; The radius of an electron in the ground state of hydrogen is called the Bohr radius. Angular momentum of electrons in atoms : The motion of electrons is responsible for atomic magnetism. The electron of charge (–e) (e = + 1.6 × 10-19 C) performs uniform circular motion around a stationary heavy nucleus of charge +Ze. This constitutes a current, I. There will be a magnetic moment, usually denoted by associated with this circulating current.
