Question: Radius of the first orbit of the electron in a hydrogen atom is 0.53 Å. So, the radius of the third orbit will be [Kerala (Engg.) 2001]

Options:

A) 2.12 Å

B) 4.77 Å

C) 1.06 Å

D) 1.59 Å

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ r_{n}\propto n^{2}\Rightarrow \frac{r_{3}}{r_{1}}=\frac{3^{2}}{1}\Rightarrow r_{3}=9r_{1}=9\times 0.53=4.77{\AA} $
