In a Rutherford scattering experiment,when a projectile of charge $Z_1$ and mass $M_1$ approaches a target nucleus of charge $Z_2$ and mass $M_2$,the distance of closest approach is $r_0$. The energy of the projectile is:

We consider the Thomson model of the hydrogen atom in which the proton charge is distributed uniformly over a spherical volume of radius $R = 0.25 \,\mathring A$. Applying the Bohr quantization condition in this model,the ground state energy (in $eV$) of the electron will be close to:

The size of an atom is of the order of
