Structure of Atom - Result Question 18

####18. The Bohr orbit radius for the hydrogen atom (n=1) is approximately 0.530\AA. The radius for the first excited state (n=2) orbit is (in \AA )

[1998]

(a) 0.13

(b) 1.06

(c) 4.77

(d) 2.12

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (d) Radius of hydrogen atom =0.530\AA, Number of excited state (n)=2 and atomic number of hydrogen atom (Z)=1. We know that the Bohr radius.

(r)=n2Z× Bohr Radius of atom =(2)21×0.530 =4×0.530=2.12\AA
