Bohr radius

Bohr radius
Symbol	a0 or rBohr
Named after	Niels Bohr
Approximate values (to three significant digits)
SI units	5.29×10−11 m (52.9 pm)

The Bohr radius ( $a_{0}$ ) is a physical constant, approximately equal to the most probable distance between the nucleus and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state. It is named after Niels Bohr, due to its role in the Bohr model of an atom. Its value is 5.29177210544(82)×10⁻¹¹ m.^[1]^[2]
