To how small a region must an electron be confined for borderline relativistic speeds-say, 0.05c- to become reasonably likely? On the basis of this, would you expect relativistic effects to be prominent for hydrogen's electron, which has an orbit radius near 10^-10m? For a lead atom "inner-shell" electron of orbit radius 10^-12m?
