Question: The ground state energy of an electron in an atom can be roughly estimated by assuming the electron is trapped in an infinite square well the length of which is about 0.2 nm (a typical atom "size").

Part A: Use the infinite square well energy level equation ) to estimate the ground state energy of an atomic electron.
