Equate centripetal force with electric force (This problem is not physical as electrons do not orbit protons. Classical physics does not work here - Quantum Mechanics was necessary in order to explain electrons' behavior in atoms. Also 4 electrons don't occupy the same orbital - not important to problem, anyway)
For 1 electron:
mev2/r = keqpqe/r2 = keq2/r2
rearrange to solve for v. I get
v = sqrt(keq2/r m) All the units mesh as given to get v in m/s (use ke = 8.99 x 109 Nm2/C2

Thank you: The orbital speed = 1.37 x 106 m/s The frequency of orbital motion = 1.62 x 1015 Hz Is that correct?01/22/22
