Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 17.63 pm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{52.9\left(\mathrm{n}^2\right)}{\mathrm{Z}} \mathrm{pm}\)
For \(\mathrm{Li}^{++}, \mathrm{Z}=3\)
First orbit, n = 1
\(\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{52.9\left(\mathrm{n}^2\right)}{\mathrm{Z}} \cdot \mathrm{pm}=\frac{52.9(1)^2}{3}=17.63 \mathrm{pm}\)
