If Planck's Constant Were Smaller Than It Is, Would This

question 65

Multiple Choice

If Planck's constant were smaller than it is, would this affect the sizes of atoms?

• A) No, because atomic orbits do not exhibit quantum uncertainties.
• B) No, because the sizes of atoms are determined by the electromagnetic force acting between the nucleus and the electrons and this force is not affected by quantum phenomena.
• C) Yes, atoms would then be larger than they are because the electromagnetic force would be weaker.
• D) Yes, atoms would then be larger than they are, because quantum uncertainties would be larger.
• E) Yes, atoms would then be smaller than they are, because quantum uncertainties would be smaller.
