The radius of the inner most electron orbit of a hydrogen atom is \(5.3 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~m}\) .What is the radius of the \(n=4\) state ?

  1. A \(8.48 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(4.24 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(2.12 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(10.6 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8.48 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) \(8.48 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\)
\(r_{n}=\frac{n^{2}}{Z} a_{0}\)
\(r_{4}=\frac{(4)^{2}}{(1)} \times 5.3 \times 10^{-11}\)
\(r_{4}=16 \times 5.3 \times 10^{-11}\)
\(r_{4} \approx 8.48 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\)
