Atomic Structure Result Question 19-1

19. Which hydrogen like species will have same radius as that of Bohr orbit of hydrogen atom?

(2004,1 M)

(a) $n=2, \mathrm{Li}^{2+}$

(b) $n=2, \mathrm{Be}^{3+}$

(c) $n=2, \mathrm{He}^{+}$

(d) $n=3, \mathrm{Li}^{2+}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 19. ( b )

Solution:

  1. Expression for Bohr’s orbit is, $r_n=\dfrac{a_0 n^2}{Z}=a_0$

when $n=2, Z=4$.
