An electron is confined to a region of space of the size of an atom (0.1 nm).

a) What is the uncertainty in the momentum of the electron?
b) What is the kinetic energy of an electron with a momentum equal to deltaP ?
c) Does this give a reasonable value calue for the kinetic energy of an electron in an atom?
