Atoms And Nuclei Question 133

Question: Which state of triply ionised Baryllium (Be+++) has the same orbital radius as that of the ground state of hydrogen [KCET 2004]

Options:

A) n = 4

B) n = 3

C) n = 2

D) n = 1

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Radius of nth orbit for any hydrogen like atom rn=r0(n2Z) ( r0= radius of first orbit of H2 -atom) If rn=r0
Þ n=Z. For Be+++, Z = 4 Þ n = 2.
