Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 13.2 pm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(\mathrm{Be}^{3+}\) atom, \(Z=4\) (atomic number.) \(n=1 \text { (for ground state) }\) Using radius of orbit, \(a_n=\frac{n^2}{2} a_0\) where, Bohr's radius \(a_0=53 \mathrm{pm}\) \(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{1}{4}(53) \mathrm{pm} \\ & =13.2 \mathrm{pm} \end{aligned}\)
