The Bohr orbit of the hydrogen atom (n=1) is 0.530 Å. The radius of the first excited state orbit in Å is:

  1. A \(2.12\)
  2. B \(1.66\)
  3. C \(0.16\)
  4. D \(5.21\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2.12\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The radius of the \(n\)th Bohr orbit for a hydrogen-like species is given by \(r_n = r_1 \times \dfrac{n^2}{Z}\). For a hydrogen atom, \(Z = 1\). The first excited state corresponds to \(n = 2\). Given \(r_1 = 0.530\) Å. Substituting the values, we get…
