Bohr
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-001403
A unit of length, also known as the Bohr radius, representing the most probable distance between the proton and electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state. It is a fundamental constant in atomic physics and is used as the atomic unit of length. One bohr is approximately 5.29177 x 10^-11 meters.
