Atoms And Nuclei Question 100

Question: The radius of the Bohr orbit in the ground state of hydrogen atom is 0.5 Å. The radius of the orbit of the electron in the third excited state of He+ will be [MP PMT 2000]

Options:

A) 8 Å

B) 4 Å

C) 0.5 Å

D) 0.25 Å

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

By using rn=r0n2Z ;

Where r0 = Radius of the Bohr orbit in the ground state atom .

So for He+ third excited state n=4, Z=2, r0=0.5\AA Þ r4=0.5×422=4\AA
