Bohr's radius of \(2 \mathrm{nd}\) orbit of \(\mathrm{Be}^{3+}\) is equal to that of

  1. A 4th orbit of hydrogen
  2. B 2nd orbit of \(\mathrm{He}^{+}\)
  3. C 3 rd obit of \(\mathrm{Li}^{2+}\)
  4. D 1st orbit of hydrogen
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1st orbit of hydrogen

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Bohr radius for \(n\)th orbit \(=0.53 Å \times \frac{n^2}{Z}\) where, \(Z=\) atomic number \(\therefore\) Bohr radius of 2 nd orbit of \(\mathrm{Be}^{3+}=\frac{0.53 \times(2)^3}{4}=0.53 Å\) For option (d) Bohr radius of 1st orbit of…
