  1. A \(8.48 Å\)
  2. B \(2 \cdot 12 Å\)
  3. C \(4.77 Å\)
  4. D \(0.53 Å\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8.48 Å\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{ll}
& r_n \propto n^2 \\
\therefore & \frac{r_n}{r_0}=\left(\frac{n}{1}\right)^2=(4)^2=16 \\
\therefore & r_4=16 \times\left(5.3 \times 10^{-11}\right)=8.48 Å
\end{array}\)
