What is the radius of the fourth orbit of hydrogen atom?

  1. A \(846.4 \mathrm{pm}\)
  2. B \(211.6 \mathrm{pm}\)
  3. C \(476.1 \mathrm{pm}\)
  4. D \(1322.5 \mathrm{pm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(846.4 \mathrm{pm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{52.9(\mathrm{n})^2}{\mathrm{Z}} \mathrm{pm}
\)
For hydrogen, \(Z=1\)
\(
r_n=\frac{52.9 \times 4^2}{1}=846.4 \mathrm{pm}
\)
