The binding energy of a H-atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nucleus (proton), is,

B=-me48n2ε02h2 (m = electron mass)
If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving around it. By similar arguments, the binding energy would be,

B=-Me48n2ε02h2 (M = proton mass)
This last expression is not correct, because,


  • n would not be integral

  • Bohr-quantisation applies only to electron
  • the frame in which the electron is at rest is not inertial
  • the motion of the proton would not be in circular orbits, even approximately.
