Structure Of Atom Question 7

Question 7 - 29 January - Shift 2

Assume that the radius of the first Bohr orbit of hydrogen atom is $0.6 \stackrel{o}{A} $. The radius of the third Bohr orbit of $He^{+}$is picometer. (Nearest Integer)

Show Answer

Answer: (270)

Solution:

Formula: Bohr’s Radius of Hydrogen like Atoms

$ \begin{aligned} r & \propto \frac{n^{2}}{Z} \\ r _{He^{+}} & =r_H \times \frac{n^{2}}{Z} \\ r _{He^{+}} & =0.6 \times \frac{(3)^{2}}{2} \\ & =2.7 \stackrel{o}{A} \\ r _{He^{+}} & =270 pm \end{aligned} $
